A Summary of the Economic Analysis Concerning the Application of Intelligent Transportation Systems/Commercial Vehicle Operations (ITS/CVO) to the Mid-Continent Corridor, Transportation Conference Proceedings

The existing operational procedures of motor carriers and state enforce-ment agencies have potentially substantial benefits to gain by integrat-ing Intelligent Transportation System technology into their commer-cial vehicle operations (ITS/CVO). In particular, multi-state integra-tion of these technologies throughout a transportation corridor will lead to more significant benefits then single state applications. This paper summarizes the results of an economic analysis on the application of three principal ITS/CVO technologies to the mid continent corridor: electronic credentialing, electronic screening and electronic border crossings. The mid-continent corridor is defined as Interstate Highwa
