Abstract:Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) represent a significant opportunity to improve the efficiency and safety of the surface transportation system. ITS includes technologies to support information processing, communications, surveillance and control, and more; typically performing these functions more quickly, efficiently, and reliably or providing a function that was not previously performed. A critical aspect of ITS which provides much of its capability is the integration of individual technologies or components of the ITS infrastructure to form a unified transportation management system (FHWA 1999).
The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the experiences of the Texas Department of Transportation’s (TxDOT) South Texas Regional Advanced Transportation Information System (STRATIS) - a recently developed traffic management center (TMC) in the Laredo District - in integrating existing field equipment including closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras, loop detectors/video identification vehicle detection systems (VIVDS), dynamic message signs (DMS), highway advisory radio (HAR), and train monitoring systems.
