CANDIDATE COMMUNICATIONS ARCHITECTURES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ITS IN CANADA

The communication needs for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are considered from a functional perspective in order to identify the architectural attributes of a communications infrastructure as necessary to support the widespread deployment of ITS in Canada. The capabilities of these attributes are described on a qualitative basis and grouped to provide potential system concepts. These concepts are then evaluated, based on their attributes, against each of the ITS services. From this evaluation a short list of functionally viable candidate systems is derived. A final selection can subsequently be made based on a more detailed quantitative performance and cost assessment.
