Abstract:The FAST-TRAC (Faster and Safer Travel through Traffic Routing and Advanced Controls) Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Field Test in Oakland County, an urbanized county in metropolitan Detroit, represents a large and successful systems integration effort that ties together traffic surveillance, signal control, and traffic information systems that have not previously been integrated. The lessons learned through the successful FAST-TRAC integration process can be valuable to others engaged in, or contemplating ITS deployments. The Road Commission asked the University of Michigan to evaluate various aspects of TIMS. The evaluation consisted in part of a Systems Integration Study, which describes the systems engineering and integration process as applied to TIMS. The goal of the Systems Integration Model is to help State and local transportation planners and managers deploy ITS by alerting them to potential systems integration issues and solutions. Moreover, staff in private systems integration houses should also find the Model useful in better understanding and meeting the needs of the public agencies. The systems integration model is the topic of this report.
