Abstract:Intelligent Transportation Systems are integrated systems of advanced
information and communication technologies to improve safety, operation,
and productivity of surface transportation systems. Such systems have been
deployed nationwide in metropolitan areas and are capable of collecting
massive amounts of data that can be eff ectively used to achieve the main
mission of ITS. To date, only a few states have recognized the need to mine this
data for potential use in a variety of online and off -line applications, which are
becoming more critical to both transportation systems users and providers. In
the state of Louisiana, the ITS program at the Department of Transportation and
Development (DOTD) has been rapidly growing in the past few years, and major
ITS instrumentation eff orts have been made on freeways and state 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 secure a data
warehouse to collect, store, and analyze as much ITS data as possible. Following
the practice of several other states, an ITS lab has been proposed to serve as a
centralized location for all ITS data from all available sources within the state of
Louisiana. The lab is to be established at LTRC to facilitate the collection of data
from all possible sources over the DOTD network. The fi rst phase of the ITS lab
was completed in 2009 wherein a feasibility study was completed and evaluated
with the recommendation to proceed with the acquisition of all supporting
equipment for full scale implementation of the ITS lab.
