MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES FOR DATA COLLECTED VIA INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS

摘要

The benefits of being proactive in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) adoption are numerous. ITS can facilitate a safe and efficient transportation system, improve public safety, assist research programs, stimulate economic growth, and improve the environment. However, a disadvantage in being at the forefront of technological advances is that technologies may be deployed before they are fully mature. In the case of Michigan, several ITS programs have been launched successfully, but independently of each other. To effectively capitalize and leverage existing and future opportunities, the State of Michigan should develop a statewide master/strategic plan for database aggregation across ITS, geographic information systems (GIS), and transportation asset management subsystems and programs. The plan should be developed in conjunction with key stakeholders including Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB), and other key stakeholders.
