摘要：	The Silicon Valley Smart Corridor (SVSC) is the first project to install Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in a portion of Northern California’s roadway network. The project began in 1996 as a result of the desire by ten local agencies to utilize advanced technology and real-time ITS management techniques to better manage traffic congestion along the Highway 17/Interstate 880 corridor located in the Silicon Valley region. The ten project partners include the City of San Jose, City of Campbell, City of Milpitas, City of Santa Clara, Town of Los Gatos, County of Santa Clara, Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA), Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), California State Department of Transportation (Caltrans), and the California Highway Patrol (CHP). Each agency, with the exception of the MTC, manages traffic within its respective jurisdiction utilizing individual traffic management systems. The goal of the SVSC project is to develop a peer-to-peer network system which would enable each agency to maintain its existing traffic management system, while allowing for universal communications amongst the various traffic management systems to accomplish inter-jurisdictional data exchange and active traffic management coordination. The project corridor stretches 15 miles along Highway 17/Interstate 880 from the City of Milpitas to the Town of Los Gatos and includes major parallel arterials. To date, the project consists of a total of six phases. The first three phases of the project were funded through the California Traffic Systems Management (TSM) program for a total of $7.485 million. The firm of DKS Associates, an ITS transportation consulting firm based in Oakland California, was selected to design and manage these initial three phases of the project; construction is expected to be complete by the summer of 1999. Meanwhile, the project’s Steering Committee has developed a detail scope of work for the second three phases of the project and has secured TEA- 21 funding to implement these phases of work over the next three years. Additionally, efforts are underway to rally support for future phases of the project; it is anticipated that a full build out of the project will entail a total of ten phases. The familiarity with ITS that has occurred has lead the agencies to pursue projects that build onto the corridor technology but are actually outside of the project boundaries. Several new projects are planned as the beginning of a Silicon Valley Intelligent Transportation System (SV-ITS) program which will see the deployment of advanced technologies throughout the valley’s roadways. This paper provides background on the creation of a smart corridor in Silicon Valley, an overview of the project’s unique features, and a discussion on how to successfully implement a multi-agency project.
