2. Intelligent Transportation Systems – ITS
ITS is the use of advanced technology and communications
to make our highways safer and more efficient
WHY ITS?
Our ever increasing population continues to create more traffic and make our roads more congested. Congestion is not only a hazard, it costs hundreds of millions of dollars in lost productivity each year, it contributes to environmental pollution and it has quality of life implications.
We can no longer solve today’s transportation problems using yesterday’s solutions. Acquiring more space and building more roads is no longer the default option, and in fact, is fast becoming non-feasible.
Through the strategic deployment of various devices along our highways, the NMDOT can make better use of our existing infrastructure, making it safer and more efficient.

3. Full FHWA Oversight and Compliance
Requires the Department to Demonstrate Adherence to Federal Regulations
ITS Deployments are planned and developed from an Architecture - modeled from the National ITS Architecture
Designed to provide common framework planning, defining and integrating systems
Accesses established standards (NTCIP) to ensure system compatibility

4. Full FHWA Oversight and Compliance (cont.)
Providing Independent Verification and Validation
ITS Systems are designed in strict accordance with the Federal Systems Engineering Requirements

5. ITS - the use of advanced communications technologies and data collection techniques to improve transportation safety and mobility
The NMDOT uses ITS to:
Observe road conditions
and monitor traffic
Advise motorists and the public of road and traffic conditions
Monitor weather conditions
effect on our roadways
Detect and Manage
Highway Incidents
Manage maintenance and
construction activities
