This FY 2004 ITS Integration grant has provided partial funding for design, outfitting, and interior fit up for the new regional Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Laboratory suite located in the new $60 million Northwest Center for Engineering, Science and Technology, a major engineering research facility located on the campus of Portland State University in downtown Portland, Oregon. Integration has been achieved through several key strategies: designing and equipping the new ITS laboratory in the NWCEST, including the provision of cable raceways and cable troughs enabling the flexible cabling of the lab as technologies evolve; providing physical communications linkages; providing linkages to ITS data sources that have enabled the establishment, testing, expansion and use of the regional ITS data archive; and the use of traffic management system software and hardware for training, simulation and educational purposes. The objective of this project was to create a regional resource for housing archived ITS data, serving as an emergency back-up transportation management operations center (TMOC) and to provide resources for regional transportation education, research and training. The project was completed on time in December 2005. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Federal Highway Administration, Salem, OR.
