Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)

Architecture Update 2007 Process

In 2007, MTC completed the process to update the Regional ITS Architecture in time to inform the Regional Transportation Plan. The updated version of the Architecture can be found here. The process included stakeholder participation to provide input into the plan and comment on proposed enhancements. Stakeholders for the Update are people that represent agencies that own or operate the types of systems being addressed by the ITS architecture or are engaged in planning activities associated with deploying these systems.

Potential users of all ITS services under consideration
Others who may be affected directly or indirectly by ITS services, but who will not be users.
Persons or organizations with a strong material interest in success or failure of ITS solutions.

Stakeholders validate or verify the design requirements and the list of ITS project/system inventory.

For more information on the process for updating the Architecture, please see the links below.

What is the Purpose of the Bay Area ITS Plan & Architecture?

A tool to help ITS project sponsors develop projects by providing a basic framework for how different ITS projects in the region fit together
Encourage stakeholder involvement in project planning
Promote the use of common design and communication standards
A major goal is the integration of ITS projects so that data can be cost-effectively shared between projects.
The Architecture is important because, per federal law, most ITS projects must demonstrate that they fit within the Architecture in order to receive federal funds.
