Las Cruces Regional ITS Architecture |
The Las Cruces Regional ITS Architecture is a framework for transportation systems integration in the region over the next 20 years. The Las Cruces Regional ITS Architecture has been developed through a cooperative effort by the region's transportation agencies, including New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT), covering all surface transportation modes and all roadway facilities in the region.
The architecture is an important new tool that will be used by:
The architecture provides an overarching framework that applies to all ITS deployment within the Las Cruces MPO Area, consistent with federal requirements identified in 23 CFR Part 940. Using the architecture, each transportation project can be viewed as an element of the overall transportation system, providing visibility into the relationship between individual transportation projects and ways to cost-effectively build an integrated transportation system over time. Time Horizon and ServicesThe Las Cruces Regional ITS Architecture has a time horizon of up to 20 years with particular focus on those systems and interfaces that are likely to be implemented in the next five years. The architecture covers the broad spectrum of Intelligent Transportation Systems, including Traffic Management, Emergency Management, Maintenance and Construction Management, Public Transportation Management, and Archived Data Management. Elements in the architecture are classified as either “existing” or “planned”. Elements classified as “existing” are those whose interface design is complete, regardless of whether the actual element or interface is implemented. Elements classified as “planned” are those whose interfaces have not yet been designed. About this Web SiteThe purpose of this regional ITS architecture web site is to organize the details of the architecture into a form that is more readily accessible to stakeholders. It will provide a method for stakeholders to access the architecture information in order to encourage the use of the Las Cruces Regional ITS Architecture in both transportation planning and project implementation. In addition, this website will be useful in gathering stakeholder feedback. The menu bar at the left provides access to the stakeholders, the transportation systems in the region (the "Inventory"), the transportation services that will be provided, transportation-related functions that are envisioned, and the existing and planned interfaces in the region. |
