Abstract:This report presents the results of a study by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. for Arizona’s Transportation Research Center to develop a strategic plan to deploy ITS rural technologies along the I-40 corridor in northern Arizona. The report describes the participation of a coalition of over 100 stakeholders, both in Arizona and from neighboring states (California and New Mexico). The Final Report presents a summary of the findings and recommendations discussed in the fourteen technical memoranda. The needs along the corridor were identified through focus groups meetings of Coalition members. Each of the needs were matched, where possible, to one or more of the 30 FHWA User Services defined in the National Program Plan. A systems architecture, patterned after the ITS National Architecture (April 1996), was developed for the l-40 corridor representing an evolutionary, open standards architecture that will incorporate specific technologies and Market Packages for each of three deployment time frames. Twenty-one separate Market Packages were incorporated into the architecture in order to respond to the needs identified in this study. A Multimodal l-40 Traveler Information System is proposed to accumulate and distribute roadway and weather information; transit information: tourism information including national and state park information: incident information; and traveler services information. A request for private partnerships is proposed as a means of deploying the information dissemination systems. Interoperability between Arizona traffic operations centers and communication systems in New Mexico and California is proposed as a goal for ITS deployment in the corridor
