The standards reviewed include the Advanced Transportation Controller Standard for the Type 2070 Controller, v02.03, dated March 12, 2004 and the ITS Cabinet Standard v01.02.17b, dated November 16, 2006. The outcome of this effort, through a series of both subjective and objective evaluation criteria, is to determine the suitability, effectiveness and interoperability and interchangeability, of the standard, and to provide this feedback to the standards development organizations that are drafting the standards. This testing effort is not an evaluation of the site‘s conformance to the standard and should not be construed as such.
