A SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE FOR REGIONAL INTEGRATION

At a regional and national level, operational activities between local highways authorities and the Highways Agency follow the principles laid out in the National Guidance Framework. At local, regional and national level the Traffic Management Act places a duty on highways authorities to co-ordinate their traffic management across boundaries. Related papers by Paul Welsh and Steve George have discussed integration at local level and regional institutional issues respectively. In this paper the technical means to support institutional cooperation at a regional level are discussed, from both a system architecture viewpoint and from an operational viewpoint. For the covering abstract see ITRD E134653.
