Abstract:Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are the application of advanced computer, electronics, and communications technologies to increase the safety and efficiency of surface transportation. ITS depend on the ability to integrate many advanced technologies; standards are essential in making this possible. With ITS standards, transportation agencies can implement systems to cost-effectively exchange pertinent data and accommodate equipment replacements, system upgrades, and system expansions. The traveling public can benefit from ITS standards through products that will function consistently and reliably anywhere in the country. ITS standards contribute to a safer and more efficient transportation system, facilitate national and regional interoperability, and promote the creation of an innovative and competitive market for transportation services and products.
