On July 14--16, 1991, national experts on advanced transportation technologies participated with state and local officials from Georgia in a workshop to exchange information on the possibilities associated with such technologies. The workshop was structured to familiarize the experts from outside the Atlanta region with the characteristics of the regional transportation system so that the types of technologies with which they are familiar could be considered in light of these characteristics. In addition, several presentations were made on the IVHS demonstrations currently underway in California and soon to be underway in Orlando and Chicago. The intent of these presentations was to expose state and local officials to the types of actions that are being considered in other parts of the country. The workshop was thus clearly structured to provide a useful exchange of information. the objective of the workshop was to identify demonstration projects for the Atlanta area which will showcase state-of-the-art transportation technologies over the next five to seven years, while providing long-term enhancements to Atlanta's transportation systems.
