Reducing ITS Project Risk by a Policy of Developing and Using Consensus Based Regional ITS Architectures and a Systems Engineering Process

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Projects include the application of data processing and communications to surface transportation. ITS Project Risk is a failure to satisfy the needs of project stakeholders (users, operators and maintainers), or an unexpected delay and/or cost to complete the project. A Consensus based ITS Architecture is one that all stakeholders agree will meet their ITS needs. This paper explains how a policy of developing, maintaining, and using a regional ITS architecture to plan ITS projects, and a systems engineering process to design, build, and test an ITS project accelerates deployment, while reducing the risk of ITS project failure.
