Critical Mass (relative to the US, Europe and Asia)› ITS knowledge is scattered among many stakeholders

National Glue Strong enough to create ‘critical mass’ Elastic enough to maintain independence and flexibility in

creativity, i.e. “loose coupling”

Diverse and Broad interdisciplinary Focused and Deep topic-based flocking of experts Minimal Government Infrastructure responsibility National in scope, international leadership

ONE-ITS (slide:3)

Current ITS solutions are mostly standalone systems that are used by single/ small group of users

Advancing ITS applications is typically a labor-intensive, inflexible and slow process

Very limited sharing of ITS infra- and info-structures.

Characterized by using “older” technologies, architectures and programming techniques;

ONE-ITS (slide:12)

ONE-ITS is one coin with two sides:

1. Democratic Virtual Organization: Socio-Technical Network

2. Web-based service-oriented & model driven platform

ONE-ITS allows ITS stakeholders capture business logic

in business models

ITS Operational Models are realized in the form of

online ITS services.

Collaborators contribute and benefit from shared

models, services and resources.

ITS Centres:› e.g. The ITS Testbed -- a $5.2 million research facility operational

since 2001› Other

HPC facilities › Compute Canada: Sci Net and WestGrid › Local HPC clusters at UofT, UofR and others

Sensors and real-life data from Toronto, Regina and other

CANARIE › high-speed inter-connects› User Controlled Light Paths (UCLP)

ONE-ITS (slide:14)

Go beyond ICAT and create ONE-ITS VO

Stakeholders include › researchers, government agencies, local operators, › vehicle manufacturers, traveler information service providers,› media outlets, police, fire and emergency services, › extensible all the way down to the individual travelers.

the governance model should recognize that:› ONE ITS is a national, networked resource› The prime goal of ONE ITS is to integrate people, ideas, and tools in

a collaborative environment.› (Hierarchical or layered) open but secure access
