What is integration?


Integration is defined as links between major elements of the ITS Taxonomy and can take several forms. The most common form of integration link is the sharing of information between agencies, for example when arterial traffic data are shared with transit agencies so they can improve service. Another form of integration is equipment interoperability, such as when emergency vehicles communicate with traffic signals to preempt signal timing to improve incident response. A third form of integration is when two agencies coordinate control actions, such as when arterial management agencies coordinate signal timing on a corridor.
