SafeTrip-21: Federal ITS Field Tests to Transform the Traveler Experience

SafeTrip-21 popularized transportation technology by making traffic and transit data available to the public via websites, smartphone apps, and other electronic media. Federal Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) field tests were carried out between November 2008 and November 2010 in partnership with state government, private companies, and universities. The results showed that public ITS research can provide a conceptual foundation for real-world and commercial products.
