A major result from the study included the development of an analysis method for quantitatively assessing ITS impacts, called the Process for Regional Understanding and EValuation of Integrated ITS Networks (PRUEVIIN). Other significant results include the assessment of benefits from an integrated set of ITS services at the regional and corridor level, and lessons learned about incorporating ITS into the planning process. The following sections set the context for and provide a summary discussion of these findings.95
