| Abstract |
The Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Architecture is based on Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements to provide user services in areas such as mass transit, commercial vehicle operations, traffic management, and personal vehicles, among others. The objective of this task was to assess the extent to which the ITS Architecture supports or is compatible with safety-related ITS user services of interest to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), particularly those having significant in-vehicle control and warning functionality. The task was structured to permit feedback of NHTSA needs and concerns to the architecture development teams during the process of ITS Architecture development. The study found no major issues in the ITS Architecture that would limit or adversely impact the efforts of NHTSA to facilitate the deployment of future in-vehicle safety-related systems. To a large extent, this can be attributed to the fact that the ITS Architecture does not address in-vehicle safety systems in detail--actual deployment and design issues were considered beyond the scope of the architecture. It also assumes that these systems fall into the category of higher risk/later deployment, with most of the cost being borne by the private sector. The study did, however, identify several technical concerns and issues that were brought to the attention of NHTSA and the ITS Architecture Team during the course of the effort. While several areas of concern were addressed by the Architecture Team during the course of the study, other issues (documented in the final report) remain open. |
