This is one of seven studies exploring processes for developing ITS architectures for regional, statewide, or commercial vehicle applications. Four case studies examine metropolitan corridor sites: the New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut region; the Gary-Chicago-Milwaukee Corridor; Southern California; and Houston. The fifth case study details Arizona's process for developing a rural/statewide ITS architecture. A cross-cutting study highlights the findings and perspectives of the five case studies. The seventh study is a cross-cutting examination of electronic credentialing for commercial vehicle operations in Kentucky, Maryland, and Virginia. Six of the studies were conducted by U.S. DOT's Volpe National Transportation Systems Center under the sponsorship of U.S. DOT's ITS Joint Program Office, with guidance from the Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration. The Houston case study was conducted by Mitretek Systems, with support by the Volpe Center. This study was prepared for a broad-based, non-technical audience. Readership is anticipated to include mid-level managers of transportation planning and operations organizations who have an interest in learning from the experiences of others currently working through ITS architecture development issues. |
