Architecture Scope
The scope of the Regional ITS Architecture can be described in terms of: 1) the size of the region and jurisdictions covered (geographic scope), 2) the planning or time horizon, and 3) the variety of transportation services that are covered. This scope is defined in the context of adjacent and overlapping Regional ITS Architectures.
Description
Develop an Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Architecture and Implementation Plan for the Vancouver Area Smart Trek (VAST) Region of urbanized Clark County, WA.
The ITS Architecture provides an overall vision and conceptual framework for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) deployment and integration in the region, while the Implementation Plan is a project- and time-based strategy for implementing specific ITS systems in a practical, chronological, and fiscally-constrained manner.
Key stakeholders include: WSDOT Southwest Region, ODOT Region 1, Regional Ttransportation Council, Oregon Metro, Clark County, City of Vancouver, City of Camas and C-TRAN.
The ITS Architecture complements the Transportation System Management and Operations (TSMO) Plan developed in 2011 by RTC in cooperation with other regional agencies. The reader is referred to that report for additional background information and details.
