This document summarizes the results of the regional intelligent transportation architecture development for the Fargo-Moorhead (F-M) area. Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) refer to integrated applications of sensing, communications, computer processing, and electronics to enhance the transportation systems. The regional architecture (RA) provides a tool to guide future ITS planning, define system requirements, coordinate agency roles and integrate functions across jurisdictional lines.
The F-M Regional ITS Architecture was prepared under the leadership of the F-M Council of Governments (COG). The goal of the F-M RA is to guide the implementation of ITS systems in the F-M region and coordinate funding, deployment, information sharing, and operations of ITS systems in the region. The main ITS goal areas for the F-M region include enhanced traveler safety; effective traffic and transit management; coordinated incident management; and enhanced traveler information. A 15-year planning horizon was considered in the RA development.
The development of the RA was facilitated by the Advanced Traffic Analysis Center (ATAC) of the Upper Great Plains Transportation Institute at North Dakota State University. ATAC also facilitated the first RA update completed in 2007.
The following reports are listed by publication date in reverse chronological order.
