  5. ITS around the State (cont.) • Borman TMC & ATMS (detectors, cameras, communications system, DMS) • Indy TMC & ATMS – under construction • Indy incident management plan • Kokomo mini ATMS & signal coordination

  6. Architecture to Real Projects: KIPDA example • Schedule with 8 major tasks: • Preliminary Architecture work • Inventory of existing & planned projects • Assessment of regional needs (built around service areas/market packages) • Stakeholder forum

  7. Architecture to Real Projects: KIPDA example (cont.) • Development of prelim architecture • Review/Revise prelim architecture • Sequencing projects & ID agency responsibilities • Creation Regional Architecture & final documentation

  8. Common Questions • Are MPOs required to prepare architectures? • What funding is in jeopardy if there is no architecture in place? Why this federal requirement? • How can we get the stakeholders to cooperate? • Should INDOT do the architecture?

  9. Common Questions • What assistance is available for preparing an architecture? • See web site: www.its.dot.gov for frequently asked questions, cost-benefits & other info
