| Abstract | This report continues to build upon empirical results from field operations of deployed systems, supplemented with benefits information based upon modeling studies and statistical studies. It differs from previous reports in that results from the federally sponsored ITS field operational tests are explicitly identified. This report continues the emphasis that has been placed on the use of evaluation results to satisfy the requirements of the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993. Its organization reflects a focus on the use of limited number of key measures of ITS effectiveness. The intent is to focus on a few measures that are robust enough to represent the goals and objectives of the entire ITS program, yet are few enough to be affordable in tracking the progress of the ITS program on a yearly basis. These measures are: Time, Crashes, Fatalities, Throughput, Cost, and Costumer Satisfaction. Other important measures include emissions and Fuel Consumption. This report is intended to be a reference report. It highlights benefits identified by other authors and refers the reader to information sources. The interested reader is encouraged to obtain source documents to appreciate the assumptions and constraints placed upon interpretation of results. It is the intent of the ITS Joint Program Office to update this report periodically. |
