Abstract:The primary mission of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Austin District Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) initiative is to enhance the safety and efficiency of transportation throughout the Austin region. This will be accomplished by the application of traffic, transportation, and emergency management technology to reduce traveler frustrations associated with recurring (“peak”-type), non-recurring (“surprise”-type), and construction related congestion. Additionally, TxDOT Austin District is working with the City of Austin and Travis County to implement an integrated regional emergency communications and transportation management center for the Austin Region (The 9-1-1 RDMT Project). The project will also upgrade the communications systems (voice and data communications) and the dispatch system used by the project partners. The 9-1-1 RDMT project presents a unique opportunity to integrate emergency management and traffic management. To guide the integration of these systems, a regional ITS architecture was developed based on the National ITS Architecture. The primary focus of this document is to identify and prioritize the user needs of the region, existing and planned projects, and to describe a procedure for submitting additional projects within the scope of the regional architecture. This deployment plan will be used as a guide for implementation of the Austin Regional ITS Architecture.
