Ohio Department of Transportation- District 12 ITS Strategic Deployment Plan

The purpose of this Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Deployment Study is to identify where and how ITS technologies can be applied to improve the safety, efficiency and capacity of the Cleveland regional transportation network. The generally accepted concept of ITS primarily considers the hardware and software that is used to manage traffic and inform motorists. But deployment of an ITS system involves more than installing the latest technology. It demands an overall strategy which reaches beyond vehicles and highways, and is aimed at increasing the efficiency of the entire transportation system. It requires improved cooperation and coordination among the agencies providing transportation services. It also requires the application of effective management techniques to improve operations, real-time monitoring of traffic conditions, and effective communication with the system users. In addition to dealing with the what and where, this study investigates the who. It attempts to define possible solutions to the issues that will inevitably accompany new, non-traditional approaches to solving the areas transportation problems.
