Abstract:

The design and development of a library of modeling tools called ITS Options Analysis Model (ITSOAM) to evaluate the merit of intelligent transportation system (ITS) deployment elements within a benefits-cost framework are described. ITSOAM is designed as a sketch-planning tool to meet the diverse needs of New York State ITS coordinators in their economic assessment of expected user and operational benefits imputable to specific ITS elements in specific corridors. It is intended as a system assisting engineers and planners in screening worthy ITS deployments. The general modeling philosophy and framework of ITSOAM are presented, with an emphasis on the evaluation of basic information dissemination by variable message signs.
