University:	University of Utah
Status:	Completed

Project #:	MPC-209

Abstract

Sophisticated micro simulation models, such as MITSIM, INTEGRATION and WATSIM are useful tools to test the potential impact of new ITS technologies, such as route diversion variable message signs, in-vehicle driver alarms, and weather sensitive speed advisory signs. Once implemented, the modeling should be tested with field observations. Rigorous experimental design demands that both pre- and post-date will be available. Frequently, the "pre data" is overlooked. Subsequent evaluations are weakened.
