The Department of Transportation’s Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Joint Program Office announced Monday that its updated Architecture and Turbo Architecture software are available for free download at the National ITS Architecture website.
The National ITS Architecture provides a common framework for planning, defining and integrating ITS deployments. It was developed and has evolved through the input of stakeholders using a consensus-building methodology, and can be downloaded at http://www.iteris.com/itsarch/html/menu/documents.htm.
This new version of the architecture provides updated mappings to the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act goals, objectives and performance measures: an updated mapping to the most current ITS and connected vehicle standards; physical and logical architecture enhancements to support expanded Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks applications, including the Smart Roadside Initiative; and new links that connect service packages with the connected vehicle applications defined in the Connected Vehicle Reference Implementation Architecture.
