  1. ITS Deployment Analysis System (IDAS) Gene M. McHale Federal Highway Administration ITS America Annual Meeting, Boston, May 2000

  2. Outline - IDAS • Uses and Capabilities • How it Works • Where to Get it • Where to Get Support and Training • Future Plans

  3. What Is IDAS?A Tool that: • allows the estimation of transportation impacts resulting from ITS deployments • is consistent with current planning analyses • uses output from existing regional transportation travel demand models • determines the transportation impacts of ITS • deployment costs, travel time, safety, emissions, etc. • monetary equivalents

  4. Who Is IDAS Designed For? • Transportation planners • ITS professionals • Systems operators, Others Those who need to assess the costs and benefits of deploying ITS

  5. What Do I Need to Use IDAS? • Knowledge of Travel Demand Forecasting • Knowledge of ITS • Travel demand model files • Node coordinates, network links, matrix data (e.g., trip tables) • Alternative ITS deployments for comparison

  6. Travel Demand ForecastingOverview – 4-Step Approach • Trip Generation • Trip Distribution • Mode Choice • Traffic Assignment

  13. Where Do I Get IDAS? • Available mid-May 2000 • McTrans Software Center • (352) 392-0378 (ph) • (352) 393-3224 (fax) • Mctrans@ce.ufl.edu • $795 per copy

  14. Where Do I Get Technical Support? • Technical support offered through McTrans as part of purchase price • Additional support as part of software maintenance contract • Web site under construction to provide: • User discussion forum • Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) • Technical reports, articles, related links

  15. Where Do I Get Training? • Development of a two-day hands-on training course has just begun • First 24 courses offered free from NHI, beginning December 2000 • Following first 24 courses, regular NHI course

  16. What’s Planned for the Future? • Short Term • Bug fixes • Cost and benefit value updates • Longer Term (Possibilities) • Ability to directly model traditional transportation improvements • Addition of new ITS components

  17. Need More Information? • Please visit the IDAS booth in US DOT portion of exhibit hall • Software demonstrations • Talk to the IDAS developers • Flyers & other information
