Abstract	The Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) is envisioned as linking existing and emerging technologies of computers, wireless radio communications systems, and various sophisticated sensors to be used in cars and highways to create an integrated system that has the potential to change the way millions of American. In Colorado, a large scale operational test of an ITS Mayday emergency dispatch system has been launched. This Mayday operational test in Colorado is evaluating the use of GPS location technology and cellular phone two-way communications to provide assistance to travelers in an emergency dispatch area of more than 12,000 square miles in central Colorado. The test implements 2,000 in-vehicle units using a low cost GPS location device called the TIDGET, developed by NAVSYS Corporation. The major objectives of the Colorado test are: to evaluate the impact of the system and response network on emergency response activities, time, and public safety; to evaluate a low cost system that allows user to request roadside assistance; and to identify the necessary structure, responsibilities, and service levels of a Travel Assistance Center for commercial operation of the system. The results of this emergency location project are anticipated to make a significant contribution to increased highway traveler safety and reduced emergency response time. This NAVSYS Mayday system is an example of the rapid progress by which the ITS vision is becoming a reality in today's travel technology.
