The effort included a study plan, site visits and interviews and the cooperative development of the report and presentation of findings and recommendations. The initial tasking resulted in a study and analysis report that identified opportunities and obstacles that state and local transportation managers face in purchasing and deploying ITI products and identified factors that facilitate or impede local and state deployment of ITI innovations.

This market analysis was systematically developed and performed to support long-range planning to ultimately encourage technology advancement and specific capability insertion of crash avoidance countermeasure technologies into the highly complex and infrastructure dependent transportation environment. The results of our research were used by NHTSA and the DoT to measure status in "market acceptance"; desired technology/product performance characteristics and requirements; and to identify and formulate strategies to effectively resolve market impediments, (i.e., maturity of the technology, driver/consumer acceptance, institutional and legal barriers as well as reducibility barriers).
