With Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), engineers and system integrators blend emerging detection/surveillance, communications, and computer technologies with transportation management and control concepts to improve the safety and mobility of the surface transportation system. Individuals responsible for developing, deploying, and managing ITS projects need a solid foundation not only in transportation engineering concepts and principles but also systems engineering, communications, and technology. This project developed a special topics course on the planning, design, and implementation of ITS projects for transportation management. This course is a graduate-level survey course in which students are provided with the basic knowledge and concepts needed to plan, design, and implement an ITS project that can be deployed in the field. Course topics include: (1) an overview of ITS technologies and applications for advanced transportation management; (2) the application of system engineering concepts in the planning and design of advanced ITS projects; (3) techniques and strategies for managing and deploying ITS projects; (4) design and application of advanced telecommunication techniques for ITS deployments, and (5) techniques and tools for evaluating ITS project and technologies. / NOTE: Final rept Jan. 08 - Jun. 09. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Department of Transportation, Washington, DC.
