This report continues the emphasis in documenting evaluation results of ITS user services and the benefits these services provide to the surface transportation system. The organisation of this report differs from that of the previous ITS Benefits reports. Referenced data are classified into a structure that reflects individual ITS program areas. These program areas include the metropolitan and rural infrastructure, ITS for Commercial Vehicle Operation (ITS/CVO) and Intelligent Vehicle user services. Data within the report reflect empirical results from field operations of deployed systems, supplemented with benefits information based upon modelling studies and statistical studies. This report is intended to be a reference report. It highlights benefits identified by other authors and refers the reader to information sources. The interested reader is encouraged to obtain source documents to appreciate the assumptions and constraints placed upon interpretation of results. It is the intent of the ITS Joint Program Office to update this report periodically. (A)
