Learn About Standards

Photo of metropolitan busesMore and more transportation agencies are relying on intelligent transportation systems (ITS) to help them manage and maximize their transportation facilities. As ITS becomes more widespread, transportation agencies are recognizing the value that standards can bring to their ITS deployments. Standards can help maximize ITS investments because they allow data sharing:

  • Between devices manufactured by different ITS vendors at different times
  • Across different ITS applications
  • Among transportation agencies located in different jurisdictions

Use the "Learn About Standards "link in the left menu for information and additional links to resources that can help both experienced ITS professionals and newcomers to ITS integrate standards into their ITS deployments.
