Authors:Mohammad Smadi
Publication Date:Dec 2014
Type:Research Report

Abstract

This document summarizes the results of the regional Intelligent Transportation architecture development for the Grand Forks-East Grand Forks Area. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) refer to integrated applications of sensing, communications, computer processing, and electronics to enhance the transportation systems. The regional architecture (RA) provides a tool to guide future ITS planning, define system requirements, coordinate agency roles and integrate functions across jurisdictional lines.

The Grand Forks-East Grand Forks Regional Intelligent Transportation Systems Architecture was prepared under the leadership of the Grand Forks-East Grand Forks Metropolitan Transportation Organization (GF-EGF MPO). The goal of the GF-EGF regional architecture (RA) is to guide the implementation of ITS systems in the GF-EGF area and coordinate funding, deployment, information sharing, and operations of ITS in the region. The main ITS goal areas for the GF-EGF area include enhanced traveler safety; effective traffic and transit management; coordinated incident management; and enhanced traveler information. A 15-year planning horizon was considered in the RA development.
