Why ITS Projects Should be Small, Local and Private: Lessons from Studies of Technological Change for the Deployment of Intelligent Transportation Systems

In this paper, the author contends that in order to produce and capture useful knowledge, early Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) projects should be local, small, and focused on realistic goals. The importance of cooperative networks that support knowledge acquisition and diffusion is stressed. Additionally, the author promotes the usage of private industry, especially to perform tasks for which they are best qualified.
