Meeting Agenda • ITS and the Statewide ITS Architecture • Coordination between Agencies • Existing and Planned ITS Systems, Projects, Programs • Local Needs and Opportunities • Next Steps • Q&A and Wrap-Up
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 Management
ITSStakeholders • Transportation Agencies • Transit Agencies/Other Transit Providers • Planning Organizations • Public Safety Agencies • Fleet Operators • Travelers • Activity Centers • …and many more

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: • Huntsville • Montgomery • Shoals • Mobile • Birmingham • 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 • 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?
