- ITS Lessons >> Make use of data from various sources, such as the highway police patrol’s incident data, to develop a statewide traveler information system.
- ITS Lessons >> Ensure compatibility of data format of the field-weather monitoring sensors with the central software in the transportation management center.
- ITS Lessons >> Beware of costs, utility, reliability, and maintenance issues in deploying a statewide transportation network monitoring system.
- ITS Lessons >> Design traffic video transmission systems around the constraints of bandwidth limitations and provide provisions for remote configuration of video compression hardware.
- ITS Lessons >> Provide ITS training for transit systems managers, operators, and maintenance personnel when deploying Advanced Public Transportation Systems.
- ITS Lessons >> When implementing traveler information systems that promote voluntary changes in travel behavior, incorporate functions for feedback, advice, and action-planning.
- ITS Lessons >> Ensure that ITS field operations tests use technologies and applications that are proven to be deployment ready.
- ITS Lessons >> Make aggressive use of marketing to increase call volume and improve cost efficiency of 511 services deployment.
- ITS Lessons >> Forge a partnership among the local public sector agencies managing transportation operations along a multi-jurisdictional corridor and the private sector for deployment and integration of ITS.
- ITS Lessons >> Follow a modular approach when deploying complex projects in locations with a shortened construction season.
- ITS Lessons >> Keep technical solutions open-ended in the early stages of an ITS research project, and follow a research-oriented contract vehicle.
- ITS Lessons >> Beware of the likely trade-off between a decrease in the frequency of right-angle crashes and an increase in the frequency of rear end crashes when considering installation of red-light-cameras.
- ITS Lessons >> Develop a regional ITS architecture with a common data server to facilitate ITS integration in a region
- ITS Lessons >> Use non-proprietary software for ITS projects to ensure compatibility with other ITS components
- ITS Lessons >> Maximize Field Operational Test (FOT) success by creating a sound experimental design and data acquisition plan.
- ITS Lessons >> Adopt a long term perspective identifying a business reason or an operational need for ITS based solutions and embrace performance measures.
- ITS Lessons >> Deploy side object detection systems for transit buses that have proven effectiveness in transit operating environments and been accepted by transit operators.
- ITS Lessons >> Implement infrastructure-based collision avoidance technology to mitigate risks at crash prone intersections.
- ITS Lessons >> Sustain ITS network operations and interagency communications during emergencies by ensuring provisions for alternate power supply and telecommunications services.
- ITS Lessons >> In preparation for managing transportation in catastrophic emergencies, identify agencies and their decision makers to interact with, and establish effective coordination with them to execute response.
- ITS Lessons >> Develop and rehearse an emergency response plan for managing catastrophes with minimum panic, disruption and loss.
- ITS Lessons >> Ensure that new technology deployed in a weight station to detect high-risk heavy trucks is in alignment with state organizational goals and inspection priorities.
- ITS Lessons >> Develop an effective evacuation plan for special event that gathers a large audience and consider co-locating the responding agencies in a joint command center.
- ITS Lessons >> Package road value-pricing strategies with technology upgrades and conduct extensive outreach that involves champions, stakeholders, and the general public.
- ITS Lessons >> Use Analysis, Modeling, and Simulation (AMS) to identify gaps, determine constraints, and invest in the best combination of Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) strategies.
