• 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.
