      <title>Archived Data User Service Self Evaluation Report</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1532666</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Archived Data User Service (ADUS) is a recent addition to the National Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Architecture. This user service “required ITS system to have the capability to receive, collect and archive ITS-generated operational data for historical, secondary and non-real-time uses”.  These data can be used for transportation planning, safety and research applications. Recognizing the potential benefits of adding ADUS to the ongoing effort to implement an integrated Freeway and Arterial Management System in the Las Vegas area, the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) engaged the services of Kimley-Horn and Associates to conduct a study and perform the design for the implementation of ADUS. The major elements of this effort include needs assessment, update of the Functional Requirements, update of the Regional ITS Architecture for the Las Vegas area and Design of ADUS. This project was federally funded under the FY-99 ITS Deployment Program. The total project cost is approximately $225,000, of which NDOT’s share is $120,000 and FHWA’s share is $105,000. The next phase of this project will include the development and implementation of the ADUS system, which is expected to be completed by 2003. This Self-Evaluation Report includes a summary of the work completed during the project. There were no outstanding technical, institutional or legal issues identified that would curtail implementation of the ADUS within the Freeway and Arterial System of Transportation  (FAST).]]></description>

      <title>Applying a Regional ITS Architecture to Support Planning for Operations: A Primer</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1141585</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This primer offers transportation planners and operations managers a menu of opportunities for applying the regional Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) architecture to enhance planning for operations. It provides specific entry points for leveraging the regional ITS architecture in integrating operations into the planning process. This primer centers on the use of an objectives-driven, performance-based approach to planning for operations; an approach that can leverage regional ITS architectures given the approach’s emphasis on operational objectives and performance measures and the architecture’s use of data and services to address operational needs. Additionally, the primer leads planners and operators through techniques to make a regional ITS architecture relevant and more accessible to practitioner needs in planning for operations.]]></description>

      <title>Linking ITS Projects to Regional ITS Architectures</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/903145</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This paper discusses of an approach for linking ITS projects to the underlying regional ITS architecture. FHWA Rule 940 and the corresponding FTA policy require that ITS projects be mapped to the regional ITS architecture, but the link is often difficult due to the methods used to document regional ITS architectures. A customized market package based representation of ITS architecture allows this connection to be made more easily. Further a web based representation of the regional ITS architecture allows stakeholders to easily access the information.]]></description>

      <title>Framework for the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Evaluation: ITS Integration Activities</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/899752</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) represent a significant opportunity to improve the efficiency and safety of the surface transportation system. ITS includes technologies to support information processing, communications, surveillance and control, and more; typically performing these functions more quickly, efficiently, and reliably or providing a function that was not previously performed. A critical aspect of ITS which provides much of its capability is the integration of individual technologies or components of the ITS infrastructure to form a unified transportation management system. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the experiences of the Texas Department of Transportation’s (TxDOT's) South Texas Regional Advanced Transportation Information System (STRATIS) - a recently developed traffic management center (TMC) in the Laredo District - in integrating existing field equipment including closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras, loop detectors/video identification vehicle detection systems (VIVDS), dynamic message signs (DMS), highway advisory radio (HAR), and train monitoring systems.]]></description>

      <title>ITS Backbone</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/798794</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Previously projects funded by TransNow, Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), and other Washington State partners have invested in the development of a Puget Sound Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Backbone architecture and infrastructure that is being used to obtain, fuse, and deliver traffic and traveler information.  The ITS Backbone provides a widely available common interface to data from several agencies; it also provides a common public interface to the finest granularity of WSDOT inductance loop data.  The Backbone extracts data from a variety of remote agencies and makes it available to engineers in the NW Region Traffic Management System.  In the upcoming biennium it will be augmented to include data from Lynwood, Bellevue, virtual speed and travel time sensors on King county arterials, and non-recurring traffic congestion predictions based on weather information.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mack-Blackwell Transportation Center (MBTC) is partnering with Kimley-Horn and Cambridge Systematics to develop a freeway management system (FMS) deployment plan for central Arkansas and an (Intelligent Transportation Systems) ITS Architecture and Deployment Plan for the West Memphis, Pine Bluff and Fort Smith, Arkansas regions.  The project is being contracted by the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department, and no MBTC federal grant money is being used.  The FMS Deployment Plan includes the selection of three corridors for improvement.  The project will develop conceptual plans including the identification and location of ITS devices, market packages, and communication systems for the segments addressed.  Stakeholder input will be sought at every phase of the project to ensure that proposed solutions will be most effective for the Central Arkansas area.  The ITS Architecture project for West Memphis, Pine Bluff and Fort Smith will result in regional architectures with website documentation, an ITS deployment plan, and stakeholder workshops for the three areas to encourage local involvement in the decision making process.]]></description>

      <title>Design Structure Matrices to Improve Decentralized Urban Transportation Systems</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/777030</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Managing large, complex urban transportation systems involves numerous stakeholders because of decentralized ownership and operation of distinct pieces of the physical network and services. To deliver better service to users, many urban regions are adopting technological and operational solutions, both of which necessitate interaction among the decentralized organizations. This research applies systems engineering analysis techniques—design structure matrix and clustering—to improve efficiency and effectiveness of organizational interactions between agencies as they deploy intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and attempt to integrate their operations. Specifically, this paper examines the application of clustering to the institutional structure set forth by the regional ITS architecture for metropolitan Seattle, Washington. Clustering of Seattle area organizations noted previously unidentified multilateral relationships that offer potential for more efficient interagency interactions and, ultimately by extension, delivery of more effective transportation services to users.]]></description>

      <title>Linking Planning and Operations to Improve Regional Mobility and Safety in Hampton Roads, Virginia</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/776749</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century identifies seven planning factors that must be considered in the transportation planning process. One of these factors requires that states and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) promote efficient system management and operation and establish a formal role for management and operations (M&O) activities in the transportation planning process. In support of this requirement the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission, the designated MPO for southeastern Virginia, has been aggressively involved in addressing transportation M&O under the structure and auspices of regional transportation planning. Recognizing the need for intergovernmental cooperation and technical innovations to meet planning for M&O activities and challenges, the Hampton Roads MPO formed the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Technical Committee in the early 1990s. In many ways the Hampton Roads region has long been on the leading edge of ITS planning efforts. The region pioneered development of an early deployment plan in 1995 and was also an early adopter of an ITS regional architecture. There is a strong partnership and collaboration among the region’s ITS stakeholders. This paper focuses on planning efforts used in integrating ITS and M&O activities into the mainstream of the regional transportation planning process in Hampton Roads. The paper describes key elements and the process undertaken by key players to ensure integration for achieving a safe and efficient transportation system in the Hampton Roads region.]]></description>

      <title>USE OF THE NATIONAL ARCHITECTURE TO DEVELOP AN INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS STRATEGIC PLAN: CASE STUDY FOR A MEDIUM-SIZED AREA</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/715918</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A case study of use of the national architecture to develop an intelligent transportation system (ITS) strategic deployment plan for Chittenden County, Vermont, an area with a population of 140,000, is presented.  Because the study was conducted after a mature version of the national architecture had been completed, every effort was made to take full advantage of the national architecture documents in developing the plan.  This helped reduce significantly the amount of effort needed to complete the plan, while ensuring the interoperability of the systems to be deployed.  In developing the plan, the most recent version of the ITS planning process, which is based on the "market package" concept, was followed.  A quantitative, systematic procedure was used to screen and prioritize the market packages.  A regional ITS architecture was then developed, and the selected packages were developed into a list of recommended projects for the region.  The study clearly demonstrates the value of the national architecture.  The architecture provided guidance in formulating an ITS vision for the region, formed the basis on which ITS packages were selected, and dramatically reduced the amount of effort needed to develop the regional architecture.  The architecture's market packages are shown to be applicable to medium-sized areas; however, they need to be implemented at a smaller scale than in larger metropolitan areas.]]></description>

      <title>REGIONAL ITS ARCHITECTURE DEVELOPMENT: A CASE STUDY: SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ITS PRIORITY CORRIDOR</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/637025</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This is one of seven studies exploring processes for developing Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) architectures for regional, statewide, or commercial vehicle applications.  This study was prepared for a broad-based, non-technical audience. The Southern California Priority Corridor provides a rich example of how agencies can apply the National ITS Architecture and Standards to achieve regional ITS coordination among numerous traffic and transit management and traveler information centers.  The Southern California case study illustrates the following:  collaboration by multiple Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) and state and local transportation agencies in a complex, multi-jurisdictional setting; integration of extensive "legacy" ITS infrastructure using an open architecture and interface standards to enable unprecedented levels of data and control sharing among traffic management centers; the participation of "highlighted" stakeholders, including the California Highway Patrol, South Coast Air Quality Management District, California Trucking Association, border crossing agencies, and Mexico; and opportunities for private sector information service providers to acquire and provide value-added regional traveler information.]]></description>
