ABOUT ITS STANDARDS


FINAL RULE/POLICY: ITS ARCHITECTURE AND STANDARDS

Standards-based ITS is most powerful and produces the greatest benefit when
deployed under a comprehensive regional (or corridor) transportation planning
effort. Such an approach ensures that the ITS requirements (and other
transportation needs) of all transportation stakeholders in the region are
identified, resulting in an integrated and multimodal transportation network.
Standards allow agencies to integrate ITS functions and services. Standards work
hand-in-hand with the National ITS Reference Architecture, enabling a systematic
and comprehensive approach to ITS integration and deployment.

ITS standards are specifications that define how transportation system
components interconnect and interact within the overall framework of the
National ITS Reference Architecture. They specify how different technologies,
products, and components interconnect and interoperate among the different
systems so that information can be shared automatically. To facilitate
interoperability and encourage the use of ITS standards in deployments, on
January 8, 2001, the U.S. Department of Transportation published two important
and related documents in the Federal Register:

 * The Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Final Rule
 * The Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Policy

The FHWA and FTA are guided by these two rules for administering ITS projects.

This rule/policy supports the development and deployment of regional ITS
architectures. A regional ITS architecture establishes a framework that helps
guide the integration of ITS components. Applicable ITS standards can be derived
from a regional architecture based on the information flows specified in the
regional architecture. Standards can enhance the communications of ITS systems
identified in the architecture and help to reduce stove-piping.
