Joint Program Office for Intelligent Transportation SystemsNTL-INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS-INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMSIntelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office;Federal Highway AdministrationThis report describes the results of a major data gathering effort carried out in the spring and summer of 2002 aimed at tracking deployment of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technology in metropolitan areas in the United States. Metropolitan ITS is defined in terms of nine infrastructure components: Freeway Management, Incident Management, Arterial Management, Electronic Toll Collection, Electronic Fare Payment, Transit Management, Highway-Rail Intersections, Emergency Management, and Regional Multimodal Traveler Information. Deployment is tracked through the use of indicators tied to the major functions of each component. In addition, integration of components is tracked, the measure being based on a comparison of the reported extent of the transfer of information between components to the maximum possible. The report summarizes results at a national level and includes information on the number of metropolitan areas deploying selected technologies related to the indicators. Three separate metropolitan surveys are included in this report: a survey of 78 major metropolitan areas, 30 medium-sized metropolitan areas, and 20 tourist sites
