URBAN IVHS: SUMMARY OF QUESTIONNAIRE SURVEYS ON IVHS INFORMATION NEEDS BY TRANSPORTATION AGENCIES IN THE METROPOLITAN NEW YORK AREA

This report presents the results of the two questionnaire surveys performed as part of Polytechnic University's study entitled "A Comparative Needs Assessment of Urban IVHS Information," which was part of the Paris-New York Urban Cooperative Studies. In the first half of the report, the results of analysis of the responses for the first questionnaire survey were presented. This survey was performed to identify the present state of practice on traffic data collection by the three transportation agencies; Metropolitan Transportation Authority Tunnels and Bridges (MTABT), Port Authority of New York/New Jersey (PA), and the New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT), in the Metropolitan New York area. The second questionnaire survey was administered to assess the availability and reliability of present information and agencies' information needs.
