ITS Solution Decision Support Tool for Project-Level Integrated Transportation Planning

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) implementations across the United States have been successful in reducing congestion, enhancing safety, and improving network performance. To help promote the vision of an integrated planning framework and provide project-level support for professionals developing alternatives that include ITS technologies, the Virginia Department of Transportation Northern Region Operations has developed and deployed a ITS Solutions Decision Support Tool. The tool centralizes and condenses ITS data into a more readily accessible format to facilitate prescribing ITS Solutions to applicable transportation problems. Users may search the decision tree by problem and need to identify suitable ITS Solutions or search alphabetically for one or more specific solutions. To help users assess different technologies, the tool generates a detailed report for an individual ITS Solution or a comparison report across multiple ITS Solutions. A separate administration tool is provided to manage the decision tree and maintain the ITS Solutions database.
