This policy brief discusses the benefits of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), which have generated considerable enthusiasm in the transportation community due to their potential for improving roadway safety, reducing traffic congestion, and enhancing the mobility of people and goods.
Reliable, lane-level, absolute position determination for connected and automated vehicles (CAV’s) is near at hand due to advances in sensor and computing technology. This project investigated, analyzed, and demonstrated these related technologies.
This briefing featured presentations from NCST researchers sharing the latest research insights on utilizing environmental Intelligent Transportation System applications to operate roadways more efficiently and with less environmental impact.

This project used intelligent transportation system technologies in order to improve impact on the environment by reducing fuel consumption and pollution levels in areas where the truck volume is relatively high.
This project proposes using intelligent transportation system (ITS) technologies that take into account the presence of trucks in the traffic flow. The researchers anticipate that this will improve impact on the environment by reducing fuel consumption and pollution levels in areas where the truck volume is relatively high.
This policy brief summarizes findings from two projects that simulated traffic patterns along a section of Interstate 710 near the Ports of Long Beach/Los Angeles, and the use of variable speed limit and lane change control systems to evaluate the potential traffic impacts of these systems.
