Need for Rural ITSNeed for Rural ITS
•Why?
•80 % of Nations roads are in rural & small urban areas (under 50,000 population)
•Rural roads < 40% annual vehicle miles, but > 60% traffic fatalities
•Work zone fatalities on non-Interstate roads 3 times higher
•Average twice as long for crash notification and victim transfer
