Deployment of Intelligent Transportation Systems: A Summary of the 2013 National Survey Results

This report presents summary results of the 2013 ITS Deployment Tracking survey, the most recent survey conducted by the ITS Deployment Tracking Project. The U.S. Department of Transportation and the ITS Joint Program Office have pursued a research and development agenda, the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Program, designed to integrate the latest in information technologies to improve the safety, mobility, and reliability of surface transportation modes. Within metropolitan areas, implementation of these advanced technologies has been carried out by a variety of state and local transportation agencies. In order to measure the rate of ITS deployment within the nation’s largest metropolitan areas, the ITS Deployment Tracking Project has conducted a nationwide survey of state and local transportation and emergency management agencies nearly every year since 1997.\nThe results presented in this report are a summary of the database from the 2013 survey. Access to the complete survey results and results from previous national surveys is available on-line at http://www.itsdeployment.its.dot.gov. The website also provides access to survey results in the form of downloadable reports, including a survey summary for each survey type and fact sheets. Nearly 2100 surveys were distributed to state and local transportation agencies in 2013. A total of seven (7) survey types were distributed including: Freeway Management, Arterial Management, Transit Management, Transportation Management Center (TMC), Electronic Toll Collection (ETC), Public Safety – Law Enforcement, and Public Safety – Fire/Rescue.\n
