Abstract:
The Innovative Corridors Initiative (ICI) Business Model Analysis
examines public-private partnerships designed to deploy intelligent
transportation systems (ITS) technologies that can improve
transportation system management and provide real-time information to
users. This study builds on the business models proposed by industry in
response to the ICI Call for Submissions (CFS). In addition, case
studies examine the business models that are developing between the
private and public sectors for roadside rest stop wireless Internet
access, vehicle infrastructure integration, and Traffic.com, Inc.
Caltrans' current procedures for encroachment and procurement are
reviewed briefly to identify possible areas of conflict that may need
to be resolved prior to launching future CFS-style solicitations.
Planning recommendations are provided to assist Caltrans with planning
for future CFS-style solicitations, including considerations regarding
goals, purpose and project partners, authority, and post-demonstration
relationships. Issues for Caltrans to consider pertaining to authority
for CFS-style solicitations as well as the procurement of products that
are demonstrated under these solicitations are highlighted.
