One of the goals of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is to complete the system definition and architecture integration of rural Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). The National ITS Architecture and accompanying Standards activities promote interoperability of transportation-related systems within diverse organizations that operate the surface transportation infrastructure. The National ITS Architecture and Standards will help to increase the level of reusability of systems and technologies (as well as increase market size with commensurate multi-vendor competition) and lead to a reduction in the deployment cost of ITS systems. It is crucial to ensure that the requirements of rural settings are included in the National ITS Architecture. To do this, U.S. DOT has recently initiated an effort to advance existing work on rural user needs assessment to the point where it can be used as input to the National ITS Architecture development process. The goal of this effort is to ensure that rural travel needs and conditions are represented in what will be an interoperable, national and international transportation system. |
