* You are being asked to participate in an online survey conducted by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. You were selected as a possible participant in this study because you have been identified by our research team as a transportation expert, specifically an employee from a state-level Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) or Department of Transportation (DOT) office.
Your responses will be used to better understand demand and implementation barriers for advanced Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in your region, in addition to providing direction for future research endeavors.
You may skip any questions that you do not wish to answer.
You may withdraw your consent at any time and discontinue participation without penalty.
You are not waiving any legal rights because of your participation in this research study.

| Integrated Active Transportation System |
| |
|
|
|
| |
Please read the following information before responding to the questions:
The FHWA has envisioned a future Integrated Active Transportation System (IATS) wherein all elements of all modes of transport are connected to form a single integrated and managed system. In essence, IATS aims to synchronize many existing ITS technologies.
IATS will integrate the larger system state into the local decision processes of the individual vehicles. The key concept is that vehicles will be able to exchange information with the infrastructure and other vehicles in real-time. By responding to information that describes both the local situation and the global state, an IATS vehicle will both avoid collisions (local) and support the global system objectives (overall throughput, speed, etc.) given the current load on the system and the origin and destination of the individual vehicle.
