ATLANTA, GEORGIA ITS COMPONENT INTEGRATION - PHASE I |
|
| Project Status: | Completed | |
| Project Type: |
Deployment/Integration |
|
| Project Description: | This project integrated transit and public safety components with other transportation management or real-time, multi-modal traveler information systems through an implementation of center-to-center communications protocol. The project evaluated Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) as the preferred interface between centers. In metropolitan areas, TEA-21 states that ITS Integration funding shall be used primarily for activities necessary to integrate intelligent transportation infrastructure elements that are either already deployed, or will be deployed with other sources of funds. The project was an extension of the significant investment that all involved agencies have made in ITS deployment. Funded as a FY 99 earmark, initial stages of project activity began in January 2000. |
