ITS applies proven and emerging technologies in fields such as data processing, communications, control, navigation and electronics to surface transportation challenges. While ITS technologies alone cannot satisfy the nation\u2019s growing transportation needs, they provide the means to revise current approaches to problem solving and improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of existing systems. When deployed and effectively integrated, ITS technologies provide meaningful benefits including more efficient use of the nation\u2019s infrastructure and of energy resources, complemented by measurable improvements in safety, mobility, productivity and accessibility. Many of the projects described in this document were initiated during the period authorized by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA). The previous edition of the ITS Projects Book was the first to reflect the restructuring of the ITS Program into Intelligent Infrastructure categories and the Intelligent Vehicle Initiative. This edition continues to categorize both legacy projects (originating under ISTEA), and those begun since the enactment of TEA-21, according to this program structure
