Architecture Reference for Cooperative & Intelligent Transportation (ARC-IT)


Architecture Reference for Cooperative & Intelligent Transportation (ARC-IT) - Just as an architect’s plans lay out the design of a house, ARC-IT provides a master blueprint for building an integrated, multimodal, intelligent transportation system. ARC-IT defines the framework for integrated ITS deployments that meet local needs. The Architecture helps state and local decision-makers plan smarter and buy smarter, ultimately saving time and money.

Systems Engineering Tool for Intelligent Transportation (SET-IT) - SET-IT provides a single software tool that integrates drawing and database tools with the Architecture Reference for Cooperative & Intelligent Transportation (ARC-IT) so that users can develop project architectures for pilots, test beds, and early deployments.

Regional Architecture Development Tool for Intelligent Transportation (RAD-IT) - RAD-IT is a software application that supports development of regional and project ITS architectures using the Architecture Reference for Cooperative & Intelligent Transportation (ARC-IT) as a starting point.

The ITS Architecture Implementation Program - The Office of Operations, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), offers ITS architecture implementation resources, training, guidance, and other information through the ITS Architecture Implementation Program. The ITS Architecture Implementation Program is one of six program areas within the Office of Operations’ Facilitating Integrated ITS Deployment Program.
