Statewide ITS Strategic Plan and Architecture Illinois Public Transportation Association Board Meeting Scott Lee IDOT ITS Technical Coordinator

What is ITS? Transportation Projects where Technology is being implemented and Integrated. –The National Architecture has a great listing of ITS functions and services –A lot of projects already become part of a traditional construction job. Those projects where electronic data and data integration are a focus are ITS. –Security is the latest area. GIS, Maintenance DB’s, Traveler Information and Traffic Management

Project Overview Statewide and Regional Workshops –Data Collection – Survey and Scenarios Overview of the Architecture Process Turbo Architecture 3.0 Training Making ITS Part of Regional Transportation Planning Statewide Strategic Plan

Consultant Roles and Responsibilities Facilitate the Process Provide the Starter File and Technical Support as needed. Build the Statewide Architecture and Strategic Plan based on ‘our’ needs and goals. The team should be able to answer most questions at most levels. The team and the ITS Office will focus support to the Champions

Consultant Roles and Responsibilities Regions are defined. Regions can choose to break out an Architecture as needed. We expect Rural Area needs to be encompassed in the Statewide Architecture.

Keys to the Regional Architectures… Identify key stakeholders and interrelationships Describe required activities or functions Define interconnections and interdependencies between functions Develop a blueprint for integration of systems – Define Projects

Architecture Development Process

How does this apply to Projects? Projects are typically defined by need. FHWA via its programs has committed to the Systems Engineering Process. –Allows for methodical process to define an implementation project. Identification of addition integration options Consideration of options and standards

Systems Engineering Process

Project Outputs Regional Architectures –Metro East Collinsville/East St. Louis –Champaign-Urbana –Peoria –Quad Cities –Rockford –Springfield Statewide Architecture and Strategic Plan

The Real Stuff Vehicle Location Systems for Transit Management Arrival Information Systems Asset Management Systems Transit Security – cameras, emergency call boxes Traveler Information Trip Planning –Multi-Modal

Concept of Operations Identify current and planned ITS services and functions What is the Statewide Transit Vision? Signal Priority Barriers Staffing to Support ITS AVL Meeting Traveler Information Requirements Standards proving How do I use the data? Integration of electronic payment systems

Focus Regions have been ‘turned loose’ –MPO, IDOT ITS Coordinators and ITS Program Office are Championing the efforts. Project Team and ITS Office Review Technical Committee Meeting was held on January 5 th in Springfield. Next Technical Committee – March 3 rd Next Steering Committee – March 10 th
