A thorough understanding of your ITS network will help define realistic project scopes and establish consistency.
Review industry initiatives
Review plans from other state, federal and international organizations to see what you can use to enhance your region’s mobility environments.
Determine CAV opportunities
After you’ve thoroughly examined the latest mobility, safety and environmental applications, consider how they might enhance mobility in your organization’s environments.
