Title:

Smart Call Box Field Operational Test Evaluation: Summary Report

Abstract:

The Smart Call Box Field Operational Test (FOT) evaluated the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of using smart call boxes for five data processing and transmission tasks: traffic census, incident detection, hazardous weather reporting, changeable message sign control, and video surveillance. The smart call box concept was found to be feasible but not necessarily optimal. Functional systems for traffic census, hazardous weather reporting, and video surveillance were produced.
