摘要

This is one of seven studies exploring processes for developing ITS architectures211u001efor regional, statewide, or commercial vehicle applications. Four case studies 211u001eexamine metropolitan corridor sites: the New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut 211u001eregion; the Gary-Chicago-Milwaukee Corridor; Southern California; and Houston. 211u001eThe fifth case study details Arizona's process for developing a rural/statewide 211u001eITS architecture. A cross-cutting study highlights the findings and perspectives 211u001eof the five case studies. The seventh study is a cross-cutting examination of 211u001eelectronic credentialing for commercial vehicle operations in Kentucky, Maryland, 211u001eand Virginia.

The Houston case study was conducted by Mitretek Systems, 211u001ewith support by the Volpe Center. This study was prepared for a broad-based, non-211u001etechnical audience. Readership is anticipated to include mid-level managers of 211u001etransportation planning and operations organizations who have an interest in 211u001elearning from the experiences of others currently working through ITS 211u001earchitecture development issues.
