Assessing
road user charges using GIS and GPS technologies
Researchers at the ITS Institute are currently at the center of
an effort to evaluate and refine ITS technologies that will enable
real-time assessment of road user charges based on actual road use,
including road type and jurisdiction, with other assessment parameters
to be added in the future.
Interactive simulations enhance
ITS education, outreach
ITS Laboratory staff are working on tools to give researchers,
students, and eventually the public access to advanced computer-generated
traffic simulation systems.
