 ITS Technology Design
September 14 - 23, 2021 | Online Training
16 Professional Development Hours

An ITS architecture is framework for planning institutional integration and deploying integrated transportation systems technologies. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have evolved from technology used by a single agency for a single purpose to addressing a wide range of services that involve information sharing between systems within an agency and between agencies, and with the private sector. In order to facilitate the integration of ITS systems across institutional and subsystem boundaries, open standards-based communications solutions are critical aspects of providing integrated transportation solutions.

This course will cover the development and use of needs-based ITS architectures to support the planning and deployment of ITS systems. Then it will illustrate the selection and specification of ITS technology standards and their testing to support interoperable systems.

Performance-based Contracts: Management & Implementation
September 15 - 28, 2021 | Online Training
16 Professional Development Hours

This on-line training course will focus on how to manage and implement Performance-based contracts to help road agencies meet their desired outcomes .
