On the STAR TEA-21 project
Horan is conducting case study analyses of wireless systems in Minnesota with a focus on emergency medical services (EMS) and rural applications. In the second year of his study, Horan refined the ITS EMS architecture based on field visits and completed a case study of the Virginia, Minnesota, system. A second case study of Brainerd Minnesota will be used to establish performance metrics for EMS. He plans to explore the implications of this approach for the broader assessment of ITS systems.
