The purpose of the Polaris Project is to define an Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) architecture for the state of Minnesota. An architecture is a framework that defines a complex system, in terms of a set of smaller, more manageable systems which are fully defined in terms of their individual boundaries, functions, physical components, and interfaces. They illustrate how each of the systems interrelate and contribute to the overall ITS objectives and requirements. A well defined architecture provides many benefits for a complex system. It defines and optimizes the location of system functions. It identifies critical interfaces, and illustrates how associated systems can be integrated to share resources and information. It establishes standards for communications and physical components so that interoperability can be maintained as the system evolves to incorporate new capabilities and technologies. |
