Facilitating Integrated ITS Deployment
The full benefits of ITS cannot be realized unless systems are integrated, rather than deployed as individual components. The National ITS Architecture was developed to provide a unifying framework for ITS infrastructure deployment to ensure that technologies can work together smoothly and effectively. Likewise, standards are being developed to support interoperability by specifying how systems and components interconnect. Appropriate guidance, training, and technical assistance are necessary to promote understanding and effective use of these tools, and ultimately, to achieving integrated ITS deployment.
