Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991. In the federal ITS program user services are broken doom into 7 areas consisting of 29 applications (Table I)

Those in government and In industry responsible for plane ng and coordinating ITS developments recognize Mat some of the communications systems, such as those supporting traffic flow control and addressing emergency situations, will require real-time, quick response capability wig high reliability. Such systems will probably have to be dedicated to ITS applications.

In addition, many commercial applications for consumer motorists are anticipated. These include traffic management, vehicle tracking, electronic toll collection, augmentation of driver perception, automated emergency intervention, real-t~me traffic and travel information, trip planning, and eventually automation of at least Darts of the driving Drocess.

The ITS application areas are highly defined at present, but technology planning is historically an inexact science, and much will rest on how willing users are to pay. To the extent that the Highway Trust Fund constitutes a major source of federal investment that can be tied to ITS objectives, the ITS is different from the larger information infrastructure of which it is a part the national information infrastructure.

Will service providers be able to sell this information to marketers? The DOT role in ITS wall differ fundamentally from the earlier DOT role in developing the federal highway system, and it anticipates challenges federal policymakers Ivy} face in other sectors In the future.

Despite these limitations, Table 2 does point out that a significant component of ITS services may be provided through general-purpose communications infrastructure. Only two applications are identified as having a dedicated network requirement traffic control and automated vehicle Operation.

It may also allow services to roll out consistent with underlying economics, rather shall arbitrary politically defined geographic areas. Assuring the maximum benefit from shared infrastructure opportunities wall require an active role on the part of DOT and other ITS constituents in articulating ITS requirements and in participating in NH and Internet development activities.
