Grand Forks - East Grand Forks Regional ITS Architecture Update: Version 1.0

This document summarizes the results of the regional Intelligent Transportation architecture development for the Grand Forks/East Grand Forks Area. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) refer to integrated applications of sensing, communications, computer processing, and electronics to enhance the transportation systems. The regional architecture (RA) provides a tool to guide future ITS planning, define system requirements, coordinate agency roles and integrate functions across jurisdictional lines. The Grand Forks/East Grand Forks Regional Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Architecture was prepared under the leadership of the Grand Forks/East Grand Forks Metropolitan Transportation Organization (GF/EGF MPO). The goal of the GF/EGF regional architecture (RA) is to guide the implementation of ITS systems in the GF/EGF area and coordinate funding, deployment, information sharing, and operations of ITS systems in the region. The main ITS goal areas for the GF/EGF area include enhanced traveler safety; effective traffic and transit management; coordinated incident management; and enhanced traveler information. A 15-year planning horizon was considered in the RA development. The development of the RA was facilitated by the Advanced Traffic Analysis Center (ATAC) of the Upper Great Plains Transportation Institute at North Dakota State University. A partnership agreement was established between ATAC and the Bismarck-Mandan MPO, Fargo-Moorhead Council of Governments, and the Grand Forks/East Grand Forks MPO for supporting the RA development in each region.
