• Abstract:
  This white paper provides a brief overview of the report titled "ITS Focus Task Force on System Architecture Report", dated May 1997. The report was prepared by a special task force of the United Kingdom’s ITS Focus organization. This task force was established to study the US National ITS Architecture and recommend an approach for addressing ITS architecture in the UK. The report strongly supports the key role an architecture plays in meeting broad objectives in system integration. It warns of independent systems, costly retrofit of systems when a defacto architecture is realized, and curtailed international competitiveness as costs of not addressing ITS architecture early. The successful GSM digital cellular network in Europe is offered as an example of how early establishment of an architecture and standards opened broad markets served by different independent service providers.
