Rural Environment
• 90 million rural residents• 79% of total US road mileage• Non-recurrent congestion• Fewer alternate routes
Kansas Department of Transportation
Rural Driving Statistics
• 78% of rural trips greater than 150 miles are for pleasure
• The average age of rural drivers is significantly older than urban drivers
• In Kansas– 97% of road miles are rural– 54% of VMT are rural

Part 1: Overview
• Definition of ITS
• ITS User Services
• ITS in Kansas
• ITS Benefits
Kansas Department of Transportation
What is ITS?
•The application of advanced sensor, computer, electronics, and communications technologies and management strategies – in an integrated manner – providing traveler information - to increase the safety and efficiency of the surface transportation system.

RWIS
• Remote Sensors Measure: Air Temp, Humidity, Visibility, Wind Speed and Direction, Pavement Temp and Conditions
• Gives site specific weather forecasts and 24-hr pavement forecasts
• Data used for winter maintenance and travel information
Kansas Department of Transportation
RWIS in Kansas
• 41 KDOT weather stations
• Data is received in 15 min intervals and shared within KDOT
• 45 other weather stations that are not state owned
• Goal is to have all data at centralized site and shared on Internet
Kansas Department of Transportation
ITS/CVO
• Commercial vehicle electronic clearance• Automated roadside safety inspection• On-board safety monitoring (drowsy driver)• Commercial vehicle administrative processes• International border crossing applications
Kansas Department of Transportation
ITS/CVO in Kansas• Improve reporting process for MCSAP inspectors
– install PCs at each inspection station– automate inspection process
• Join International Registration Plan (IRP) Clearinghouse– efficient fee collection– reduced paperwork
• Weigh-in Motion System to be installed on I-70 (EB/WB) in Wabunsee Co. in summer of 99 – monitored by KHP
Kansas Department of Transportation
Mayday Systems
• Automatic collision notification– triggered by airbag deployment– message sent to 911/emergency response via
radio signal or cellular call
• EMS arrives on scene faster– GPS helps locate vehicle– chance of survival increases
Kansas Department of Transportation
Kansas Mayday
• KU Planning Project– to be completed by June ‘99– delineates a Mayday deployment plan for
Kansas
Kansas Department of Transportation
Tourism & Traveler Information
• Focus on the needs of travelers in unfamiliar rural areas
• Needs– Advisory information (Weather, Construction)
– En-route services
– Transit
– Traffic management
– Business viability
– Road Conditions Reporting Systems
Kansas Department of Transportation
Traveler Information in Kansas
• 5 weather kiosks to be installed for 1-year evaluation project– to be installed at traveler information centers,
rest stops and KHP dispatch center in Salina– will provide real time weather information
using DTN terminals
• Road Conditions Reporting System– graphical user interface (color coded)– will be available on Internet
Kansas Department of Transportation
Highway Rail Intersection Safety
• Warn drivers of on-coming trains– through an in-vehicle device or active gates
– can avoid fatal collisions and reduce delay
• Warn train operators of automobiles or any objects obstructing their path– information must be received quickly for enough time
to stop
Kansas Department of Transportation
Electronic Toll Collection
• Uses transponders mounted on the windshield• Reduces delays to travelers• Reduces the costs and security of counting coins
Kansas Department of Transportation
Public Traveler/Mobility Services
• Uses AVL technology and computer aided dispatch• Focus on reducing isolation and improving
accessibility to key services for rural inhabitants• Needs
– Advisory information
– Reduce isolation
– Increase trip timeliness
– Reduce delay
• Especially crucial for elderly, poor, and disabled
Kansas Department of Transportation
Fleet Operating & Maintenance
• Uses Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL)
• Focus on the scheduling, routing, location and maintenance of rural fleets
• Needs– Fleet management– Security– Economic viability
Kansas Department of Transportation
KC Scout
• Traffic Operations Center in new MoDOT Building in Lee’s Summit
• will use ramp metering, CCTV, fiber optics, and possibly HAR
• KHP may have presence in TOC
Kansas Department of Transportation
Wichita TOC
• Traffic Operations Center in Wichita in new 911/countywide EOC
• Primarily for incident management
• Will use CCTV, fiber optics, signal preemption and AVL for emergency units, and ITS at RR crossings
Kansas Department of Transportation
Kansas Fiber Optic Network•Statewide Coverage by mid 2000•I-70 to CO border•I-135 Salina to Wichita•Partnership w/ DTI
Kansas Department of Transportation
ITS is not...
• Technology for technology’s sake–ITS is user service oriented –Each ITS user service targets specific transportation problems such as safety, inefficiency, or reduced mobility
Kansas Department of Transportation
ITS for Kansas
•Metropolitan ITS– KC Scout– Wichita TOC
•Rural ITS– current: CVISN, RWIS, traveler/tourist information– future (being considered): rural transit, Mayday, hazard warnings, infrastructure and fleet management, RR crossings
Kansas Department of Transportation
ITS Benefits
• Reduced Crashes and Fatalities
• Increased Customer Satisfaction
• Time Savings
• Improved Throughput
• Cost Avoidance
• Energy and Environmental Benefits
Kansas Department of Transportation
Projected ITS Infrastructure Benefits (2005)
Accident Cost Savings (44%)
Time Savings (41%)
