This report reflects the findings of a task force set up by ITS Focus to study the US National ITS Architecture and consider whether the UK should develop or adopt such an architecture. The task force was made up of representatives from local and national highway authorities, communications companies, ITS designers and system integrators, motor manufacturers, academics and transport consultants. The strengths of the representation and the time and effort contributed demonstrates the importance attached to this issue by both public and private sectors. During the course of the review the team examined the approach and content of the US architecture and analyzed its strengths and weaknesses with respect of the UK and European situation. The members considered the benefits of describing and adopting a formal architecture, the lessons that could be learned from the US experience and proposed a strategy for taking forward an architecture within the UK and Europe. |
