NTL-INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS-INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS
Abstract:
The objective of the Polaris Project is to define an Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) architecture for the state of Minnesota. An architecture is a framework that defines how multiple ITS Components interrelate and contribute to the overall ITS objectives and requirements. Minnesota ITS Components include things like Freeway Traffic Management Center, Regional ITS Mangement Center, Emergency Vehicle, Freeway Roadside Equipment, etc. The Polaris architecture provides multiple benefits including a) definition and optimization of the location of system functions, b) identification of critical interfaces, c) illustration of how associated systems can be integrated to share resources and information, and d) identifying where opportunities exist to establish standards for communications and physical components so that interoperability can be maintained as the system evolves to incorporate new capabilities and technologies.
ROSA P serves as an archival repository of USDOT-published products including scientific
findings, journal articles, guidelines, recommendations, or other information authored or co-authored by
USDOT or funded partners. As a repository, ROSA P retains documents in their original published format to
ensure public access to scientific information.
