Arterial Intelligent Transportation Systems Implementation and Integration: A Simulation-Based Case Study

Applying Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) to arterial systems can significantly enhance transportation system operation efficiency and improve traffic mobility. This study investigates arterial ITS elements, control technologies, and information dissemination technologies for arterial ITS deployments. The methodology for selecting and prioritizing arterial roadways for ITS implementation is developed, and several critical ITS technologies are implemented and integrated through a simulation-based case study. Simulation experimental results show deploying ITS technologies can significantly improve arterial system operation efficiency. The study findings provide new knowledge and practical guidance to help researchers and practitioners better utilize existing ITS infrastructure elements and to make wise investments in future arterial ITS applications.
