Presentation Topics:
• What is “ITS”? • Evolution of ITS
– Past 50 years – Next 50 years
• USDOT Initiatives • ITS Project Mgmt. (SE) • ITS Resources • Discussion – ITS needs of public-sector CEs?
3
What is “ITS”?...
• Short Answer = “Technology in Transportation” • USDOT Definition =
“ITS means electronics, communication, or information processing used … to improve efficiency or safety of a surface transportation system.” (23CFR940.3)
(Excludes boats, planes and most freight-rail.) • Federal regs apply to federally-funded projects • ITS is heavily dependent upon “IT” resources

Mid-1990s: – National ITS Architecture
• Created by USDOT • Goal: Define a standard, national, interoperable,
ITS framework • Guideline for future transportation systems • Built upon S.E. concepts & terminology

Late 1990’s – ITS Arch. & SE “Rule” • Codified in: 23 CFR 940 • Defined ITS and ITS Projects (940.3) • Required:
– Regional ITS Architectures in all Urban Areas (940.9) – “Systems Engr. Analysis” for all ITS projects (940.11)
• Defined ITS Architecture & S.E. concepts and terminology; still widely used today.
• (Drew heavily on aerospace & I.T. concepts, terminology, and people.)
High-Risk ITS Projects Must use S.E. Process

Other USDOT ITS Initiatives
21
• Research – via universities, consultants, Turner-Fairbanks Center, others …
• Demonstration Projects – Experiments, Pilot tests, deployments, evaluations, …
• Publications – Research, Guidelines, State-of-Practice, Knowledge Base, etc.
• Training – USDOT PCB, CITE, NHI, NTI, ITE, ITS-CA, ITSA, … (Web-based mostly.)
• … more … (See E&T handout)
Jesse’s General Observations
22
ITS Projects are increasingly complex: • Multi-agency, multi-modal, multi-purpose • More people “in the control loop” Less hardware, more software: • SW development difficult to manage • Expensive skill marketplace • SW requires a lot of maintenance • Ever-changing security threats Use SE tools; use CMMI for SW vendors

Evolution of ITS (Now 2065)
24
Self-Driving (“Autonomous”) Vehicles
(under private-sector leadership)
25
Vehicles will also be “Connected” (USDOT leadership)
... connected to each other on freeways: .
26
… and on surface streets (“V2V”) …
.
27
… and connected to roadway (“V2I”)
.
28
… and to peds, bikes, etc. (V2X)
.
Vehicles must also cooperate

Jesse’s Prediction for “2065”
Automated, Connected, Cooperating, Electric Vehicles • No traffic congestion • No crashes • No air pollution/GHG • No driving stress • Mobility for all
