Summary
This document serves as a comprehensive catalog of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) projects compiled by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s ITS Joint Program Office in 2000. It does not present original empirical research or a single unified study; rather, it functions as a reference guide detailing the scope, location, and status of numerous federal, state, and local initiatives aimed at integrating technology into transportation infrastructure. The compilation is motivated by the need to document the breadth of ITS deployment across various modalities, including metropolitan, rural, commercial vehicle, intermodal freight, and intelligent vehicle sectors. The content is organized into six primary categories, each listing specific projects with their geographic locations and functional objectives. The first major section covers Metropolitan ITS Infrastructure, subdivided into traffic signal control, freeway management systems, transit management, incident management, electronic toll collection, fare payment, railroad crossings, and regional multimodal traveler information. Specific examples include the North Seattle Advanced Traffic Management System, the Brooklyn-Bronx-Queens Signalization project, and the Chicago Smart Intermodal System. This section also details integrated systems for priority corridors, such as the I-95 Northeast Corridor and the Houston ITS Priority Corridor, alongside metropolitan model deployment initiatives like TransCom in the New York-New Jersey-Connecticut region. The second section addresses Intelligent Rural Infrastructure, focusing on surface transportation weather systems, statewide traveler information, emergency services, crash prevention, and rural transit mobility. Projects listed here include the Advanced Transportation Weather Information System in North Dakota and South Dakota, and the Automated Collision Notification operational field test in New York. The third section outlines Commercial Vehicle ITS Infrastructure, emphasizing safety assurance, electronic screening for border crossings, carrier operations, and integrated systems like the Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks (CVISN) model deployment. The final sections cover Intermodal Freight and the Intelligent Vehicle Initiative (IVI). Intermodal freight projects focus on facilitating cargo movement and security, such as initiatives in Seattle and Chicago. The IVI section details driver assistance systems for safety and information, including forward crash avoidance systems, rear object warning systems, and haptic displays. The document distinguishes between ongoing projects and completed projects within each category, providing a snapshot of the state of ITS technology implementation at the turn of the millennium. The significance of this document lies in its role as a historical record of the early 2000s ITS landscape. It illustrates the widespread adoption of technologies such as adaptive signal control, electronic toll collection, and real-time traveler information across diverse geographic regions. By cataloging these projects, the Department of Transportation provides a framework for understanding how ITS technologies were being tested, deployed, and integrated into existing transportation networks to improve safety, efficiency, and mobility.
