Software as a Service and the Growth of ITS

This paper will introduce Software as a Service (SaaS) as a key means for transportation agencies of reducing costs while offering greater intelligent transportation system (ITS) services. The paper will describe several properties of SaaS offerings that are currently available in ITS. Then it will detail three case studies of current SaaS companies active in ITS and describe how each demonstrates the properties. The paper will conclude that public and private transportation bodies should employ SaaS offerings, and should work to remove any internal rules that unnecessarily restrict the consideration and deployment of SaaS-based products.
