ITS Architecture – Regional Input Requested Now

TMACOG and all the jurisdictions in the region are working on the next generation of transportation communication including the network of emergency communications, road signage, traffic signals, and other transportation communication systems.

Transportation engineers and civic administrators in the TMACOG region are asked to contribute to an inventory of this ITS Architecture in our region. Consultants working on this issue –ConSysTec– have created a full draft architecture update. It can be found here: http://www.consystec.com/ohio/toledo/web/index.htm

We would like each agency to review their portion of the architecture and provide comments by Friday, June 3 so that the consultants can complete the architecture update. The key sections of the website which contain stakeholder specific information are:

• Inventory by Stakeholder tab (under Inventory)
• Services by Stakeholder tab (under Services)
• Projects by Stakeholder tab (under Projects)

Under Services by Stakeholder we recommend you download the pdf for your agency and use that as the document to review.

On the Projects by Stakeholder tab, if you select the project name you will go to a page that provides all the information from the Regional Architecture relating to the project.

There are a few ways to provide comments:

• Click on the "Feedback" tab located on the top right-hand corner of the menu. This will reference the page you are commenting on along with your feedback.
• Mark up the pdfs for your agency and send them back.

• If you would like, you can also arrange a telecon/webinar to go over your material with ConSysTec (either before or after making your comments). They are available to meet and would welcome the opportunity to discuss your agency’s portion of the Architecture. Just send an email to Bruce Eisenhart (bruce.eisenhart@consystec.com) and they will set up the discussion.
