U.S. DOT SEEKS LOCATIONS TO PARTICIPATE IN ITS STANDARDS TESTING PROGRAM The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is testing Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Standards that have been published or are currently under development. A team led by DOT is currently soliciting candidate test sites to volunteer to participate in the ITS Standards Testing Program. The objective of this effort will be to establish a testing program that can be beneficial to all involved. Several criteria have been developed to identify test sites that will yield accurate and correct results. The team will examine the candidate sites for their use of ITS standards and will select sites where opportunities for meaningful tests are maximized. Public and private sector representatives which have candidate test sites to offer for this program are encouraged to contact the team project manager. Site selection criteria and a contact point for further information can be accessed on the U.S. DOT's ITS Standards Web Page at http://www.its.dot.gov/standard/standard.htm .
