• Abstract:
  The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) depicts Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) as an integrated system ; to improve safety and mobility and enhance productivity through the use of advanced information and communication ; technologies. Traffi c surveillance and monitoring systems are key components of existing architectures of ITS, which ; primarily rely on an array of information and communication technologies. In the state of Louisiana, the ITS program ; has been rapidly evolving in the past few years. Major ITS instrumentation eff orts have been made on highways in order ; to allow state transportation authorities to better serve the traveling public. In order to achieve this goal, there is a ; pressing need to use current and future ITS data to improve various operational and management functions at the traffi c ; management center and other state agencies. This requires state agencies to collect, store, and analyze as much ITS ; data as possible to maximize the effi ciency of existing transportation networks. This has raised a need for a permanent ; facility to house and process ITS data collected from remote locations within the state of Louisiana. Such a facility is ; envisioned to serve academics, researchers, and practitioners in diff erent capacities as well as lend itself as a tool to ; inspire interest in the fi eld of advanced traffi c management systems among students from within and outside Louisiana.
