ITS Benefits entries are short summaries of ITS evaluations and their findings that measure the effect of ITS on transportation system operations.

A typical entry includes three elements:

• Project / System Background
• Evaluation Methodology
• Findings

Each entry begins with a brief description of the studied ITS application and project context. The summaries then describe the evaluation methodology used in the study (e.g., survey strategies, data collection periods, and simulation techniques used). Finally, each entry recounts the findings of the evaluation (e.g., gallons of fuel saved, hours of delay eliminated, or reduction in the percentage of crashes).
