Report on the U.S. Department of Transportation Workshop on the Evaluation of Intelligent Transportation Systems

The United States Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) conducted a workshop in September 2010 to exchange information and discuss ideas on ways to advance the state of the practice of evaluation in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The workshop provided an opportunity for ITS stakeholders to explore how advanced technology can be integrated with evaluation to support national and local ITS projects, and how evaluation can support sustainability and livability goals. Addressing the state of the practice of ITS evaluation at this time is particularly important in view of the rapidly changing context in which ITS research and deployment occur. For example, an increasingly urgent policy emphasis on deploying sustainable transportation solutions may influence the ITS investment decision-making by state and local government agencies. Similarly, advances in technology may open the door for the development of new ITS applications. This paper summarizes the workshop and presents participant observations and contributions.
