Intelligent Transportation Systems Definition Application of data processing and data communications to surface transportation, to increase safety, efficiency, and reliability. Includes Systems within Traffic Management Transit Management Emergency Management Traveler Information Maintenance Management Automated Transit Fare Payment
History of ITS Architecture There was broad FHWA funding for regional ITS in early 1990s Many systems deployed but data collected was proprietary and systems could not talk to each other In 1996, the National ITS Architecture established In 2001, FHWA issued Rule 940 requiring MPOs to develop and maintain regional ITS architectures Architecture must include regionally significant ITS projects, in order to be eligible for federal funding
Regional ITS Architecture A framework for ensuring institutional agreement and technical integration for the implementation of ITS projects in a particular region
Benefits for Updating Regional ITS Architecture Transportation planning tool Regional information sharing opportunities (Data Exchange Governance) Basis for institutional agreements when information crosses boundaries Addresses FHWA Rule/FTA Policy on ITS Architecture and Standards (National ITS Reference Architecture) This update of the Regional ITS Architecture brings the architecture up to date so it can be useful to the stakeholders (C/AV, transit signal priority, real-time info)
