This first phase shows how operational network, or system management techniques have been proven highly successful when applied to critical resource problems in other arenas of public and economic infrastructure, and what this means for proponents of ITS. Specifically, this paper discusses related infrastructuresair traffic control and energy managementfor lessons in devising policies (and underlying technologies) to calibrate supply and demand, thereby enhancing system efficiency. The paper first considers the steps taken by FAA to accommodate rising air demand through their slot allocation and then considers federal legislative actions taken by US Congress to encourage a wider range of supply sources for the energy demand. The second phase, still in progress, will treat more specific deployment issues for ATMS/ATIS systems in CaliforniaRead More
