• Abstract:
  Over the past several decades, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has made a significant ; investment in deploying and developing intelligent transportation systems (ITS) devices, such as closedcircuit ; television (CCTV), traffic sensors, and dynamic message signs (DMS), to assist in managing traffic ; operations. However, as these systems have matured and as financial resources have become more ; constrained, TxDOT needs to become more strategic in their decision-making as to when and where to ; deploy new ITS devices and systems and when and where to continue supporting and/or upgrading systems ; that have met their life expectancy. The goal of this project was to develop guidelines, criteria, and ; procedures to assist TxDOT in their decision-making specific to installing, repairing, and/or removing ITS ; field devices and systems. Specifically, through this project the research team assisted TxDOT by: 1) ; developing warrant conditions and criteria for assessing when and where to install new ITS devices and ; systems, 2) providing sunset requirements and criteria for determining when to no longer support deployed ; ITS devices and systems, and 3) developing an analytical framework for identifying and prioritizing missioncritical ; devices and systems for upgrade and maintenance.
