  • 21St Century Transportation Infrastructure Symposium: Linking Regional Planning Operations for Effective ITS Deployment: Proceedings (FHWA-SA-98-002)
    21st Century Transportation Infrastructure Symposium: Linking Regional Planning and Operations for Effective ITS Deployment Proceedings Sponsored by: Federal Highway Administration Federal Transit Administration Volpe National Transportation System Center December 16-17, 1996 Washington, D.C. Foreword These proceedings are derived from the symposium entitled 21st Century Transportation Infrastructure Symposium: Linking Regional Planning Operations for Effective ITS Deployment: Proceedings (FHWA-SA-98-002). Until it is published, a photocopy of the forthcoming Proceedings may be requested from Ms. Laurel Radow, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Office of Traffic Management and ITS Applications, HTV-3, Room 3404, 400 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC 20690; fax request with name, address and telephone number to 202-366-8712. The symposium was jointly sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (VNTSC), and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). On December 16-17, 1996, at the Sheraton Washington Hotel in Washington, D.C., more than one hundred regional planning practitioners, systems operators, and others met to examine current practices and to consider how best to adapt those practices to link planning, operations, systems management, and traveler information to obtain the most efficient use of our surface transportation system, and to accelerate the deployment of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The presenters and respondents were selected to share their insight and experiences. The purpose of the symposium was to help formulate recommendations for future research, policy, legislative, and administrative actions that may be considered by our offices and other public agencies to implement ITS in a regional setting. The symposium also addressed how best to incorporate improved regional and jurisdictional transportation management and operational practices, and ITS deployment into standard regional and/or statewide planning procedures, processes and practices.

Abstract This document is the culmination of the sixth offering of an innovative transportation engineering graduate course at Texas A&M University entitled, "Advanced Surface Transportation Systems". The sixth offering of the course was presented during the summer 1996 term. As part of the course, a Mentors program was initiated as a means of providing the students with unique learning experiences. Six top-level transportation professionals from private enterprise and departments of transportation, who are leaders in their field and who have extensive experience with Intelligent Transportation Systems, were invited to Texas A&M University to present a 1½-day Symposium on Advanced Surface Transportation Systems at the beginning of the summer term. Immediately following the Symposium, the students enrolled in the course participated in a Forum and a Workshop with the transportation professionals and course instructor.
