What is ITS?• Transportation Projects where

Technology is being implemented and Integrated.– The National Architecture has a great

listing of ITS functions and services http://itsarch.iteris.com/

– A lot of projects already become part of a traditional construction job. Those projects where electronic data and data integration are a focus are ITS.

– Security is the latest area. GIS, Maintenance DB’s, Traveler Information and Traffic Management

Project Overview• Statewide and Regional Workshops

– Data Collection – Survey and Scenarios

• Overview of the Architecture Process

• Turbo Architecture 3.0 Training• Making ITS Part of Regional

Transportation Planning

• Statewide Strategic Plan

Consultant Roles and Responsibilities

• Facilitate the Process• Provide the Starter File and Technical

Support as needed.• Build the Statewide Architecture and

Strategic Plan based on ‘our’ needs and goals.

• The team should be able to answer most questions at most levels.

• The team and the ITS Office will focus support to the Champions

Consultant Roles and Responsibilities

• Regions are defined.• Regions can choose to break out an

Architecture as needed.• We expect Rural Area needs to be

encompassed in the Statewide Architecture.

Keys to the Regional Architectures…

• Identify key stakeholders and interrelationships

• Describe required activities or functions

• Define interconnections and interdependencies between functions

• Develop a blueprint for integration of systems – Define Projects

Architecture Development Process

How does this apply to Projects?

• Projects are typically defined by need.• FHWA via its programs has committed

to the Systems Engineering Process.– Allows for methodical process to define an

implementation project.

• Identification of addition integration options

• Consideration of options and standards

Systems Engineering Process

Project Outputs• Regional Architectures

– Metro East Collinsville/East St. Louis– Champaign-Urbana– Peoria– Quad Cities– Rockford– Springfield

emergency call boxes• Traveler Information• Trip Planning –Multi-Modal

Concept of Operations• Identify current and planned ITS services

and functions

• What is the Statewide Transit Vision?• Signal Priority Barriers• Staffing to Support ITS• AVL Meeting Traveler Information

Requirements• Standards proving• How do I use the data?• Integration of electronic payment systems

Focus• Regions have been ‘turned loose’

– MPO, IDOT ITS Coordinators and ITS Program Office are Championing the efforts.

• Project Team and ITS Office Review• Technical Committee Meeting was

held on January 5th in Springfield.
