Abstract:The Northern Virginia Smart Traffic Center (NVSTC) Integration Program was an ambitious undertaking to enhance the effectiveness of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) in the Washington metropolitan area by interconnecting regional systems. The complexity of this undertaking, both from a technical and institutional perspective, required significant innovation from all parties involved. The purpose of this report is to present the results of an evaluation of the NVSTC Program. The evaluation report is organized as follows. First, the report begins by reviewing other national ITS integration programs. Following the lessons from the national experience, there is an introduction to the scope of the NVSTC Program, including each of the 4 major components of the integration. Next, there is a review of program activities and key contractor deliverables. Following this, there is a detailed explanation of the lessons learned specifically during this Integration Program. In addition, these lessons are compared to those learned on the national level. Finally, the report concludes with general conclusions about the overall success of the program and guidance for future similar efforts. This evaluation was intended to identify key lessons learned on "big picture" issues critical to large-scale ITS integration. It is expected that the results presented in this report will be of use in future regional and national integration initiatives.
