ITS and the Statewide ITS Architecture

What is ITS?  Intelligent Transportation Systems …  Officially - Electronics, communications, or information processing used singly or in combination to improve the efficiency or safety of a surface transportation system. (23 CFR Part 940)  Unofficially - People using technology in transportation to save time, lives, and money

ITS Components  Communications  Surveillance  Detection  Data processing  Information Dissemination  Centers (TCCs, TMCs)  Data Archive / Data Management

ITS Stakeholders  Transportation Agencies  Transit Agencies/Other Transit Providers  Planning Organizations  Public Safety Agencies  Fleet Operators  Travelers  Activity Centers  …and many more

 Pre-Trip Information  En-route Information  Tourism and Events Traveler Information Systems

 Traffic Surveillance  Traffic Control  Lane Management  Parking Management  Information Dissemination  Enforcement Arterial Management Systems

 Traffic Surveillance  Special Event Transportation Management  Information Dissemination  Lane Management  Enforcement  Ramp Control Freeway Management Systems

 Surveillance and Detection  Mobilization and Response  Information Dissemination  Clearance and Recovery Incident Management Systems

 Hazardous Materials Management  Emergency Medical Services  Response and Recovery Emergency Management Systems

 Information Dissemination  Asset Management  Work Zone Management Roadway Operations & Maintenance

 Surveillance, Monitoring, and Prediction  Information Dissemination  Traffic Control  Response and Treatment Road Weather Management Systems

 Road Geometry Warning Systems  Highway Rail Crossing Systems  Intersection Collision Warning  Bicycle Warning Systems  Animal Warning Systems  Pedestrian Safety Crash Prevention and Safety Systems

 Freight Tracking  Asset Tracking  Freight Terminal Processes  Drayage Operations  Freight Highway Connector Systems  International Border Crossing (IBC) Processes Intermodal Freight

 Credential Administration  Safety Assurance  Electronic Screening  Carrier Operations and Fleet Management  Security Operations Commercial Vehicle Operations

 Safety and Security  Transit Demand Management  Fleet Management  Information Dissemination Transit Management Systems

 Toll Collection  Transit Fare Payment  Multi-use Payment Electronic Payment Systems

 Collision Warning Systems  Driver Assistance Systems  Collision Notification (“Mayday”) Systems Connected Vehicles

Benefits of ITS

What is an ITS Architecture? A specific, tailored framework for ensuring institutional agreement and technical integration for the implementation of ITS projects in a particular region. It functionally defines what pieces of the system are linked to others and what information is exchanged between them.

Benefits of an ITS Architecture  Improves interagency coordination  Provides better services to public  Engages stakeholders  Facilitates future ITS expansion  Supports integration and interoperability  Helps tailor ITS to local requirements  Qualifies state for federal funding

Alabama Statewide ITS Architecture  Replaces out-dated Regional ITS Architectures:  Huntsville  Montgomery  Shoals  Mobile  Birmingham  New Statewide ITS Architecture encompasses all areas and stakeholders in the state.  Any additional Regional ITS Architectures (not required), should be consistent with Statewide ITS Architecture.

Coordination between Agencies

Major Traffic Incident Scenario

Coordination between Agencies  How do agencies coordinate today?  What are their roles and responsibilities?  What are areas of improvement needed in interagency coordination?  How can ITS help interagency coordination?
