3. National ITS Architecture Overview

4. 4 What is ITS? Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) include the electronics, communications or information processing used singly or integrated to improve the efficiency or safety of surface transportation Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) include the electronics, communications or information processing used singly or integrated to improve the efficiency or safety of surface transportation Examples: Examples: Traffic signal controllers Traffic signal controllers Traffic Management Centers Traffic Management Centers “511” (traveler information) “511” (traveler information) Electronic toll-tagging Electronic toll-tagging

5. 5 What is an ITS Architecture? Framework for Developing Integrated Transportation Systems Framework for Developing Integrated Transportation Systems Identifies: Identifies: Organizations Organizations Systems operated Systems operated Functions performed Functions performed Communications Communications Information exchanged Information exchanged

6. 6 ITS Architectures Provide a Framework for Integration Traffic Information Request for Traffic Information Travelers Emergency Service Providers Transit Traffic I-93 Closed at Decatur Blvd.

7. 7 What is the National ITS Architecture? HIGH-LEVEL national framework, “blueprint”, used to help guide ITS deployment and transportation planning HIGH-LEVEL national framework, “blueprint”, used to help guide ITS deployment and transportation planning Based on 33 transportation related ITS User Services: Based on 33 transportation related ITS User Services: Physical Entities – Subsystems/Terminators Physical Entities – Subsystems/Terminators Logical Architecture – Processes, Data Flow Logical Architecture – Processes, Data Flow Interfaces – Information Flows Interfaces – Information Flows Deployment oriented Market Packages Deployment oriented Market Packages
