Project Title:   SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA INTEGRATED TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PROJECT
     
Project Status:   In Progress
     
Project Type:   Deployment/Integration
     
Project Description:   The San Francisco Integrated Transportation Management System (ITMS) is a city-wide real-time transportation management system which includes various ITS infrastructure components suited for traffic conditions unique to San Francisco. The system when completed will provide the following benefits:

- Inproved traffic flow and safety;
- Reduced congestion;
- Availability of real-time traffic information to motorists;
- Improved responsiveness to planned events and incidents;
- Enhanced communications.

Several key concepts to be implemented through the ITMS project include:

- Development and implementation of an integrated network to exchange data and video feeds, and improvement of cross-jurisdictional response capabilities.

- Providing the foundation for inter-agency coordination and operation with Caltrans/CHP TMC and MTC TravInfo. The TMC and TravInfo play an important role in empowering the San Francisco Bay Area region with the most advanced transportation management tools to optimize use of transportation facilities in the region.

- Providing the necessary functional requirements for other local/regional jurisdictions to interface their ITS elements with those of San Francisco.
