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

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:HuntsvilleMontgomeryShoalsMobileBirmingham

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?

Other Existing info from Surveys

76% of respondents exchange info with Incident/Emergency management agencies

56% of respondents disseminate traffic information to the public via the internet

Top 3 user services for mitigating transportation problems are Traffic Control, Incident Management and Disaster Response/Evacuation

At least 10 different agencies currently track incident response times and clearance times.

Complete the ALGO deployment (statewide traffic management system software)

Develop a Statewide ITS Architecture Develop a Strategic Business Plan Dedicate staffing Develop performance measures Develop an ITS network segregated from the

current IT network Develop standards and specifications for ITS

deployments and devices Develop TMC Standard Operations Procedures

FHWA Scan Tour Action Items

Develop Traffic Incident Management procedures

Expand the ASAP program Implement 511 (meet the 2014 CFR

requirement) Utilize contract services as a force multiplier Expand TMC operations to other regional areas

(consider a statewide facility) Standardize statewide systems Develop a training program for maintenance

and operations

FHWA Scan Tour Action Items

Other Planned Systems from Questionnaires Implementing a traffic management center,

fiber optic cables and CCTV Planning a dispatch center to receive and

dispatch customer service requests Signalized intersection coordination via

centralized traffic control center Cameras, detection devices, DMS signs Increasing surveillance areas and TMC

relocation

Fiber audit and relocating fiber Continuing project to update

communications Potential expansion of transit services Upgrading scheduling and dispatching

software Maintenance funded weather monitoring

and traffic cameras

Other Planned Systems from Questionnaires

70% of respondents feel Coordinated Signal Systems would be beneficial in their area.

67% feel Integrated Regional Management would be beneficial.

63% feel Integrated Emergency Response would be beneficial.
