The 2364 US Department of Transportation (USDoT) has announced the availability of version 7.0 of the National Intelligent Transportation Systems (3278 ITS) Architecture that provides a common framework for planning, defining, and integrating ITS deployments. It has been developed and evolved via stakeholder input and reflects the contributions of a broad cross-section of the ITS community and provides a definitive reference for ITS deployment planning.

The National ITS Architecture defines the functions that are required for ITS; the physical subsystems where these functions reside; and the information exchanges that connect these functions and physical subsystems together into an integrated system.

    In the Intelligent Transportation Systems world, the concept of managing roadway or transportation corridors is not new. Smart Corridor concepts have existed for some time, such as the Santa Monica Smart Corridor system from the 1990s. Across the world, a new emerging model for operating roadway transportation networks called integrated corridor management (ICM) has emerged. This is particularly true in California, where several new ICM projects have or are being deployed. There is a new paradigm for corrid
