Title: What are Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) ?


1
What are Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
?
  • The application of advanced sensor, computer,
    electronics, and communications technologies and
    management strategies in an integrated manner
    providing traveler information - to increase the
    safety and efficiency of the surface
    transportation system.

Johnson City MPO Background
  • Established 1982
  • Staff 3 Full-Time Personnel
  • Housed with GIS and Public Transportation Staffs
  • Established 1982
  • Staff 3 Full-Time Personnel
  • Housed with GIS and Public Transportation Staffs

5
Johnson City Project Scale
  • ITS Lite
  • Urban Metro Setting lt 200,000 population
  • Identify larger statewide ITS initiatives for
    mainstreaming and tests
  • Emphasize practical side of ITS
  • (Internet, GIS, lower cost sensors, etc.)
  • Software Integration
  • Focus on SR 381 Medical Corridor and New
    Interstate 26 Extension to Asheville, NC

Video Monitoring
11
Traffic Monitoring Sensors
  • Based upon Active Microwave Sensors (RTMS)
  • Multipurpose Functionality
  • GIS Links
  • Real Time Data for Traffic/Transit Managers
  • Mounted Overhead Reduced Maintenance Costs

12
Integration with Traffic Monitoring Sensors
  • Permanent and Mobile Locations
  • Traffic Signal Integration
  • Incident Detection and Management
  • TDOT Count Stations

13
Transit/Paratransit Management
  • Routing/Scheduling ADA Clients
  • Real-Time Monitoring/GPS
  • GIS Integration
  • Coordination Among Providers
  • Access to Real-Time Traffic Data

14
Incident Management
  • Integration of ACTRA, RTMS, GIS, Real-Time
    Access
  • I-26 Importance
  • Links to TDOT

15
Strategic Approach
  • GIS as the Core Why?
  • Seamless Data Integration
  • Spatially-Based Information
  • Open Systems
  • Existing Tools, Easy-To-Use Interfaces
  • Customizable

16
The Integrating Nature of Present-Day GIS
  • GIS in the Mainstream
  • Data Integration
  • Delivery Mechanisms (Internet)
  • Improved Interfaces
  • Lower Cost
  • Toolbox Approach

17
GIS-ITS Integration
  • GIS Elements
  • ESRI, Intergraph Products
  • ArcView, ARC/INFO, MapObjects, GeoMedia ,Web
    Tools
  • Database Flexibility (Access, etc.)
  • Data Availability Locally
  • Relationships with TDOT (TransCAD modeling)

18
GIS Base Data
  • Extensive Sources
  • City has Long-Term GIS (15 Years)
  • Transit - 1 of the First Users of GIS
  • High-Quality Transportation Data
  • Recent Digital Orthos, Planimetrics
  • Tested Data Exchange with TDOT
  • Section 15 Data
  • Development of Custom Interfaces for Users

19
Internet/Visualization/ATIS
  • Public Access
  • GIS/Web Tools
  • 3-D Visualization Tools
  • Real-Time Data Display and Query
  • Future Bandwidth Internet 2
  • Kiosks or Publicly Accessible Computer Terminals
    for Transit
