Montana Department of Transportation Statewide ITS Architecture

This document summarizes the results of the update of the Montana Statewide Regional Intelligent Transportation Systems Architecture. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) refer to integrated applications of sensing, communications, computer processing, and electronics to enhance the transportation system’s safety and efficiency. The statewide architecture provides a roadmap to guide future ITS planning and deployment, define system requirements, coordinate agency roles and integrate functions across jurisdictional lines. The Montana statewide ITS architecture was updated under the leadership of the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT). The main goal of the statewide architecture is to guide the implementation of ITS in Montana and coordinate funding, deployment, information sharing, and operations of ITS in the region. The main ITS focus areas for MDT include enhanced traveler safety; accurate and timely traveler information; coordinated incident management; effective maintenance of the roadway system; efficient commercial vehicle operations; and integrated data management. A 15-year planning horizon was considered in the Regional Architecture (RA) development.
