California and Oregon Advanced Transportation Systems (COATS) Phase 4: Final Report

The California and Oregon Advanced Transportation Systems (COATS) project encourages regional, public and private sector cooperation between California and Oregon organizations to better facilitate the planning and implementation of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) in a rural bi-state area. Tasks focused on four specific areas: technology transfer, identification of Bluetooth reader deployment sites for future evaluation, a survey of automated safety warning devices, and development of a regional integrated corridor management (ICM) planning process. The incubator projects completed during the course of this phase may contribute to the future development and deployment of systems. The chain-up delay tracking project identified the number and location of sites needed to provide sufficient data to accurately determine delay; a future project will deploy Bluetooth devices at these locations to collect data to support algorithm development. A survey of safety warning devices identified hazards and other site-specific systems have been deployed; the intent is to provide drivers with advanced warnings. A key feature shared by these systems was that they were automated and self-contained in the field. The regional ICM planning work developed an overall framework for that process
