Perceptions and Realities of ITS Applications in Public Safety and Security

The purpose of this research is to develop a framework for understanding the perceptions of the various stakeholders involved in the planning, funding and deployment of ITS programs for public safety and security. We collected the perceptions of thirty-two stakeholders participating in roundtable discussions at an ITS America Annual Meeting. In this paper we first provide an explanation of the reasons such research is needed. We consider the previous publications and research-to-date as a backdrop to the study. The data collection and analysis methodologies are described next. We conclude with a conceptual framework based on the data analysis and a discussion of the implications.
