Statewide and Regional ITS Architectures

• RAD-IT replaced Turbo National ITS Architecture tool ARC-IT released, incorporating NITSA and CVRIA Service Packages (SPs) replaced Market Packages (MPs)

• State of IL and MPO Plans reviewed for technology elements Transportation Improvement Plans (TIP) Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP)

• Created Regional ITS Architecture base RAD-IT files Change Request forms Architecture Use and Maintenance Plans Integration with TIP Process


“RAD-IT is a software application that supports the development of regional and project ITS architectures using ARC-IT as a starting point.”

ARC-IT





• Statewide Need: Advanced Traffic Signal Systems

• Example with one of several relevant ARC-IT Goals:

» Improve the efficiency of the surface transportation network

• Objective choice:

» Decrease seconds of arterial delay per vehicle by X percent in Y years.

• Suggested Service Packages:

» TM03 – Traffic Signal Control

» TM07 – Regional Traffic Management

ARC-IT Example: Identify Project Goals




ITS Concept of Operations


• Hub Concepts are not always necessary, but have created an environment that is integration friendly – Vendor provisions of API

– State of the Practice in uses of various standards

• On-going focus on best-practices – Shared experiences, agreements, specifications

• Reduction of duplication of efforts, alignment of workflows and data elements within systems was a recurring theme.

• Focus on integrating all key data, yet present only the information needed from the data

• ITS Strategic Plan

ITS Strategic Plan - Presentation Overview



» Vision, goals and objectives – statements of what we are trying to achieve.




» Vision, goals and objectives

» Needs, alternatives, priorities – highlights needs arising from goals and vision statement, and identifies projects and how to prioritize.





» Needs, alternatives, priorities

» Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSMO) – identifies how ITS fits into larger context of supporting improved operations of our transportation systems.






» Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSMO)

» ITS project implementation, operations, and maintenance – describes how we will structure our ongoing effort to implement the Strategic Plan and maintain Architectures.

ITS Strategic Plan – Alternatives

• Correlate ITS Solutions to Program Areas

» Refer to Table 5-2 for full table

P = primary correlation, S = secondary correlation


ITS Strategic Plan – Prioritizing ITS Solutions

Assessment questions to prioritize ITS solution categories

» What is the priority of the need(s) addressed?

» Does the project offer the potential for significant benefits to travelers and residents?

» Does the solution leverage existing systems?

» Does the project support future systems and emerging technologies?


ITS Strategic Plan – Ranking ITS Projects

• Consideration of multiple factors and questions in ranking ITS projects

» Integration opportunity

» Financial integrity

» Advancing plan objectives

» Operational efficiencies

Integration Opportunity

18%

Financial Integrity

• Weighting applied to emphasize high-priority issues


ITS Strategic Plan – Ranking ITS Projects

• ITS Project: Truck Parking Management Systems (IDOT)

• Individual scores and weights

• Total sum (155.1) divided by 15 factors = 10.34

• Transportation Systems Management and Operation:

A set of strategies (including ITS) that focus on operational improvements that can maintain and restore the performance of the existing

transportation system without the introduction of additional capacity

ITS Strategic Plan – TSMO



• IDOT 2018 TSMO workshop findings

» Add an operator culture to complement IDOT’s builder culture

» Observe constraints on adding new capacity

» Need to operate the existing network to its fullest service potential – “take back” capacity lost to congestion, incidents, construction, weather, poor signalization, etc.

» Apply TSMO to improve security, safety, capacity, and reliability



• Next steps

» Develop a TSMO workforce

» Establish IDOT TSMO mission, vision, and strategic areas of focus

» Pursue development of a TSMO Program Plan

» Identify actions for implementation

» Prioritize TSMO recommendations









ITS Strategic Plan – Implementation Plan

• Considers statewide, regional, local ITS projects

• Leverages the Concept of Operations

• Includes standalone ITS projects and mainstreaming

• Project Sequencing Plan

» Short-term (1-3 years)

» Medium-term (4-6 years)

» Long-term (7-10 years)
