The ITS Costs Database Evolution, Enhancements and Features

The U.S. ITS Joint Program Office ITS Costs Database (http://www.itscosts.its.dot.gov ) provides both unit costs (Capital, Operations and Maintenance (O&M), and Lifetime) for individual ITS components, and system cost examples of different Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) system deployments. Since its initial creation in 1999, the ITS Costs Database has continued to evolve in response to user feedback and advances in ITS technologies and applications. This paper provides a brief background of the ITS Costs Database. It then describes the enhancements and features recently implemented as part of the 2010 review and update of the cost structure and content. These include providing the ability to view ITS Sample Unit Cost Entries of specific ITS cost components from bid tabs and other sources and incorporating “Other System Wide” and “Non-ITS” costs to begin to bridge the gap between unit and system costs. Last, next steps and potential future enhancements are briefly discussed.
