Abstract

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has created the Advanced Rural Transportation System (ARTS) Compendium as a tool to track current technology applications related to rural areas and to help identify areas in need of further research and field testing. The database is a compilation of information on a variety of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) project types from planning studies to federally funded field operational tests. It includes projects being planned for and implemented in both rural and urban settings in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and is a useful tool for anyone interested in planning or implementing ITS projects in rural areas. Sidebars highlight software development for the ARTS Compendium and use of the software.
