The network is compact and of manageable size. The Testbed can be observed in its entirety from the WRPI tower. These people also understand the constant state of flux that naturally accompanies a research environment.
Traffic volumes peak several times each day.
With each changing of classes, waves of HVCC students arrive and depart the campus. These waves will mean faster product development, since many ITS technologies focus on managing fluctuating flows. While traffic volumes are significant, the network is not overly congested. Progressively-minded governmental agencies have jurisdiction over the highways involved. Such attributes will make the Testbed an extremely attractive place for ITS technological develpment.
