The success of the Bay Area ITS
Architecture in guiding project development, coordination, and
integration is dependent upon effective use of the Architecture. The Bay Area ITS
Architecture provides input into the planning and deployment
processes for the region and serves as tool for stakeholders to
ensure that their projects support regional goals.
There are three
primary uses for the Architecture by project sponsors and
transportation professionals in the Bay Area. The first is to assist in the
regional transportation planning efforts that
occur within the region. The second is in ITS project
development (planning, design, implementation, etc.). The third is
project procurement by using the
Functional Requirements
in the Architecture as a guide for defining the project's specific
requirements. The links below detail how to use the Architecture in
transportation planning and for ITS project development and
procurement.
