Framework (roadmap) for guiding ITS deploymentDefines
Functions that must be performed (user services)Physical entities where these functions reside (subsystems)Physical entities where these functions reside (subsystems)Interfaces between subsystems (information flows)Communications requirements for interfacesStakeholder roles
ITS RA Federal Conformity Rule
ITS projects shall conform to the National ITS Architecture and standards
Requires:Use of the National ITS Architecture to develop a regional ITS Use of the National ITS Architecture to develop a regional ITS architecture (RA)All subsequent ITS projects must comply with the RA
Applies to:Applies to:ITS projects funded by the Highway Trust Fund
ITS projects development must include a systems i i l iengineering analysis

ioperationsSystem functional requirementsI t f i t d i f ti hInterface requirements and information exchangesITS standards supporting regional and national interoperabilityinteroperabilityThe sequence of projects required for implementationp
RA Development
No single approachg ppMust at a minimum meet the federal requirements
Level of detail varies by time frame for deployment of various projects
Systems/projects of regional significance should i t tt tireceive greater attention
