Western States Rural Transportation Technology Implementers Forum Review of 2008 Meeting

摘要

The purpose of this review is to document the 2008 Western States Rural Transportation Technology Implementers Forum (WSRTTIF): how and why it was planned, how the Forum went, lessons learned and recommendations for the future. The concept of WSRTTIF originated through the rural California/Oregon Advanced Transportation Systems (COATS) partnership. This partnership, initiated in 1998 by the California and Oregon Departments of Transportation (Caltrans and ODOT, respectively) with support from the Western Transportation Institute (WTI), has sought to advance the implementation of intelligent transporation systems (ITS) to meet transportation challenges in rural areas.
