Regional ITS Architecture Report. Paris Region

摘要

In January 2001, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) issued a final rule to implement Section 5206(e) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) requiring that Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) projects funded through the Highway Trust Fund conform to the National ITS Architecture and applicable standards. To meet these requirements, in 2001 the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) initiated the development of Regional ITS Architectures and Deployment Plans throughout the State of Texas. The Paris Region was the eighteenth in the series of Regional ITS Architectures to be prepared as part of this initiative. The Paris Region is located in northeast Texas. The Region is bordered by Oklahoma to the north, the TxDOT Atlanta District to the east, the TxDOT Tyler District to the south, the TxDOT Dallas District to the southwest, and the TxDOT Wichita Falls District to the west. The Architecture for the Paris Region followed a comprehensive process focused on stakeholder outreach and education, identifying market packages and interfaces tailored to the needs of the Paris Region, and developing a consensus-based architecture for the Region. This architecture provides a framework for ITS infrastructure to be deployed and integrated in the Paris Region over the next 20 years.
