The transportation community has long needed transportation systems that could be built using devices and components that were interchangeable and interoperable. The National Transportation Communications for ITS Protocol (NTCIP) family of standards defines protocols and profiles that are open, consensus-based data communications standards. When used for the remote control of roadside and other transportation management devices, NTCIP-based devices and software can help achieve interoperability and interchangeability. The NTCIP Guide is an educational tool, created to assist decision makers, planners, specification writers, and implementers in understanding the various NTCIP standard publications and how to use them. The NTCIP Guide also explains the motivations behind the use of NTCIP. The NTCIP Guide is divided into 10 chapters, with five of these chapters aimed at serving the needs of specific audience groups. The remaining chapters organize supporting information. From 1996 to 1999, this document was referenced as the NTCIP Guide." However, to provide an organized numbering scheme for the NTCIP documents, this document is now referenced as NTCIP 9001. 251p.
