Acadia National Park ITS Field Operational Test: Parking report
Daigle J and Zimmerman CA. 2003. Acadia National Park ITS Field Operational Test: Parking report. FHWA-OP-03-149. Battelle
From official abstract: "An important goal of the Field Operational Test of ITS at Acadia National Park is to reduce vehicle congestion in the Park. Reduced congestion will have the added benefits of increased mobility of visitors and residents, aesthetic and environmental benefits of fewer vehicles parked on roads, and safety benefits of less traffic and better emergency response. The parking evaluation was designed to obtain specific information on three of the six central evaluation objectives: efficiency, energy and environment, and safety. For example, measures of the number of vehicles that park outside of the designated parking areas can be used to assess whether ITS can help to distribute the demand on ANP resources more evenly, enhanced aesthetics and reduced hazardous conditions of fewer vehicles parked on ANP roads. The parking evaluation also was designed to collect information that could be used to assess time of year, week, and day for peak parking problems in Acadia National Park. This report presents the results of the field data collection and assesses the data to measure the impact of ITS on the goals of efficiency, energy and environment and safety at Acadia National Park."
