Offering Users an Innovative Home Page to Access ITS Information, including New Mapping and Tag Cloud Functionality

This paper will summarize the work of the Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office (ITS JPO) of the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) in creating an integrated Home Page to access the information contained in the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Knowledge Resources. The resources will assist decision makers, state/local government agencies, and researchers in realizing the costs, benefits, and lessons learned of ITS, as well as understanding the underlying technologies and how they have been deployed. The authors created and launched a Home Page that provided an integrated entry point to access the Knowledge Resources, while simultaneously offering new features, such as a mapping and a tag cloud/top searches feature. These new features offer users different ways to visualize and access the ITS information, and see relationships between the data previously unseen, and thereby get more value out of existing and future ITS evaluation information, via the Knowledge Resources databases.
