1 Introduction
1.1 Project Overview
Development of a regional intelligent transportation system (ITS) architecture is one of the most important steps in planning for and implementing ITS in a region. ITS architectures provide a framework for implementing ITS projects, encourage interoperability and resource sharing among agencies, identify applicable standards to apply to projects, and allow for cohesive long-range planning among regional stakeholders. The ITS architecture allows stakeholders to plan for what they want their system to look like in the long-term, and then break out the system into smaller, more modular pieces that can be implemented over time as funding permits.
ITS architectures satisfy the conformity requirements first established in the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) highway bill and continued in the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) bill passed in 2005. In response to Section 5206(e) of TEA-21, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) issued a final rule and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) issued a final policy that required regions implementing any ITS projects using federal funds to have an ITS architecture in place by April 2005. After this date, any ITS projects must show conformance with their regional ITS architecture in order to be eligible for funding from FHWA or FTA. Regions that had not yet deployed ITS were given four years to develop an ITS architecture after their first ITS project proceeded to final design.
In July 2007, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) began an update of the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG) Regional ITS Architecture. The Regional ITS Architecture has the same geographic boundaries of the SEMCOG Region and focuses on a 10-15 year vision of ITS for the Region. In addition, a separate ITS Deployment Plan was developed to identify and prioritize specific ITS projects recommended for the Region in order to implement the ITS architecture.
The update of the ITS Architecture and the development of the ITS Deployment Plan occurred with significant input from local, state, and federal officials. A series of workshops were held to solicit input from stakeholders and ensure that the plans reflected the unique needs of the Region. The draft reports are being provided to all stakeholders for comment. The Regional ITS Architecture and Deployment Plan will reflect an accurate snapshot of existing ITS deployments and future ITS plans in the Region. Needs and priorities of the Region will change over time and in order to remain effective this plan should be periodically reviewed and updated.
1.2 Document Overview
The SEMCOG Regional ITS Architecture report is organized into five key sections:
Section 1 – Introduction
This section provides an overview of the National ITS Architecture requirements, the SEMCOG Regional ITS Architecture, and the key features and stakeholders in the SEMCOG Region.
Section 2 – Regional ITS Architecture Development Process
An overview of the key steps involved in updating the ITS Architecture for the SEMCOG Region is provided in this section. It includes a discussion of stakeholder involvement, architecture workshops, and the architecture update process.
11/14/2008 SEMCOG 2 Final Regional ITS Architecture
Section 3 – Customization of the National ITS Architecture for the SEMCOG Region
This section contains a summary of regional needs and details the customization of the National ITS Architecture to meet the ITS vision for the Region. The market packages that were selected for the Region are included in this section and interconnects are presented, including the “sausage diagram” showing the relationships of the key subsystems and elements in the Region.
Section 4 – Application of the Regional ITS Architecture
Functional requirements and standards that apply to the Region, as indicated by the Regional ITS Architecture, are presented in Section 4. Operational concepts identifying stakeholder roles and responsibilities have been prepared and potential agreements to support the sharing of data and resources will be identified.
Section 5 – Maintaining the Regional ITS Architecture
A use and maintenance plan will be developed for the SEMCOG Regional ITS Architecture and included in this section. The plan will outline the procedure for updating the ITS architecture over time.
The SEMCOG Regional ITS Architecture also contains five appendices:
Appendix A – National ITS Architecture Market Package Definitions; Appendix B – Customized Market Packages; Appendix C – Element Functional Requirements; Appendix D – Stakeholder Database; Appendix E – Architecture Maintenance Documentation Form; and Appendix F – Response to FHWA and R.C. Ice Associates Comments.
1.3 Assessment
The SEMCOG Region ITS Architecture and Deployment Plan, has been assessed based on twelve items derived from both the April 8, 2001 USDOT ITS Architecture and Standards Conformity Rule/Policy and from the architecture development process described in the Regional ITS Architecture Guidance Document.

1.4 The SEMCOG Region
1.4.1 Geographic Overview
The SEMCOG Region is defined by the boundaries of Ohio to the south, Lake Erie and Lake Huron to the east, and the MDOT Bay Region to the north. The SEMCOG Region as defined for the Regional ITS Architecture and Deployment Plan corresponds to the metropolitan planning area covered by SEMCOG which encompasses the MDOT Metro Region and a portion of the University Region. It is bounded to the west by the remainder of the University Region. As shown in Figure 1, the Region encompasses seven counties including Macomb, Oakland, Wayne, St. Clair, Monroe, Livingston, and Washtenaw.
The largest cities within the SEMCOG Region are Detroit, Warren, Sterling Heights, and Ann Arbor. Significant cities that are located just beyond the regional boundaries include Flint to the north, Lansing to the northwest, Toledo, Ohio to the south, and Windsor, Ontario, Canada to the east. This geographic location not only requires interregional coordination within Michigan, but partnerships across state lines and the national border. There are several other smaller communities that make up the Detroit Metro area and several transit authorities and public safety agencies are encompassed within the geographic boundaries of the Region. When developing the stakeholder group, the project team coordinated with MDOT and SEMCOG to invite the appropriate cities, counties, state and federal agencies, and area transit providers. Table 2 in Section 1.4.4 identifies the stakeholders that have participated in the process to date.
When updating the architecture, a 20-year vision for ITS in the Region was documented. In the ITS Deployment Plan, the 20-year time frame was broken down into smaller time periods to prioritize and sequence the projects. The naming convention used for elements in the SEMCOG Regional ITS Architecture is consistent with the naming convention that is used in the Superior, Bay, Grand, North, and Southwest Regions and the Statewide ITS Architecture. There was also an effort to coordinate the naming conventions with the Toledo Metro Area Regional ITS Architecture where feasible. This consistency provides seamless connections to those other architectures without requiring that they be specifically called out. Statewide initiatives, such as statewide commercial vehicle operations and 511 traveler information service, are referenced in the Regional ITS Architecture, but will be addressed in further detail in the Statewide ITS Architecture.
1.4.2 Transportation Infrastructure
The Region is served by several State and Federal highways. As illustrated in Figure 1, the primary freeway facilities include I-75, I-94, I-69, I-96, I-275, I-696, US 23, and US 24. Additional primary state route facilities in the SEMCOG Region include M-10, M-14, M-39, and M-59.
I-75 is a major north-south roadway that begins in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and continues on to the Canadian border in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan where it terminates at Trans-Canada 17. In the SEMCOG Region, I-275 is a spur that diverges in Monroe County and running north where it merges with I-96 for a short period before ending at the junction with I-696. I-94 is the northernmost east-west interstate and runs from I-90 in Billings, Montana to Port Huron, Michigan where it ends at the U.S. side of the Blue Water Bridge. I-96 is located entirely within the state of Michigan and runs from Norton Shores on the western coast of the Lower Peninsula to I-75 near the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit. In the Detroit metro area, I-696 is a spur that connects I-96 on the west end with I-94 on the east. I-69 is connection from the Canadian border in Port Huron and runs through Lansing where it turns southwest and connects into Indianapolis, Indiana.
11/14/2008 SEMCOG 4 Final Regional ITS Architecture
US 23 extends from Jacksonville, Florida to Mackinaw City, Michigan. In the SEMCOG Region, US 23 serves as a significant north-south connector from Toledo, Ohio through Ann Arbor to Flint. US 24 serves as both a north-south and east-west route across the United States linking I-75 in Clarkston, Michigan to I-70 in Minturn, Colorado. US 12 begins at the intersection of Michigan and Cass in downtown Detroit and extends 2500 miles to US 101 in Aberdeen, Washington. Certain segments of this corridor run concurrently with I-94 and I-90. In the SEMCOG Region, it diverges from I-94 just east of Ann Arbor and serves as a possible alternate route for the I-94 corridor.
Along with a focus on the roadway facilities, it is important to note the impact of border crossings on transportation in the SEMCOG Region. The Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron and the Ambassador Bridge and Detroit Windsor Tunnel located in Detroit can all have a direct impact on the operations of the roadway network and require close coordination with the other transportation agencies. These border crossings also introduce a level of security that is not an issue in most of the regions. The Superior Region must be concerned with security at the International Bridge in Sault Ste. Marie, but the volume of vehicles crossing in to the Upper Peninsula does not compare with the traffic handled by the three border crossings in the SEMCOG Region.
Transit Authorities also play a role in the transportation infrastructure of the SEMCOG Region. Not only is it important to recognize the local agency transit authorities within the region, but also with MTA in Genesee County that coordinates with several of these agencies. Whether they have a regional or local focus, most of the agencies are currently utilizing technology to improve operations and therefore need to be accurately captured in the regional architecture.

1.4.3 SEMCOG Regional ITS Plans
The existing Regional ITS Architecture for the SEMCOG Region was adopted in 2002 and was created based on Version 4.0 of the National Architecture and Version 2.0 of the Turbo Architecture software. This architecture has been referenced by several agencies to deploy multiple technology projects throughout the region. In 2007, SEMCOG and MDOT partnered to hire a consultant to oversee a major update to the existing regional architecture based on Version 6.0 of the National Architecture and Version 4.0 of Turbo Architecture.
It is important to recognize the initial deployment of ITS infrastructure in a region because as of April 2005, in order for a region to receive funding for ITS projects from the Highway Trust Fund, the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) requires that the region have an ITS architecture developed. This requirement only applies to regions with existing deployed ITS infrastructure. For regions that do not have any ITS infrastructure deployed, the USDOT requires that they have an ITS architecture within four years of their first ITS project entering final design.
The SEMCOG Region met this requirement with its initial architecture. Examples of implementations in the Region include closed circuit television (CCTV) for surveillance, dynamic message signs (DMS), and interconnected signal systems. As the SEMCOG Region pursues funding opportunities for additional projects, it will be necessary to show that a project fits within the ITS architecture developed for the Region.
1.4.4 Stakeholders
Due to the fact that ITS often transcends traditional transportation infrastructure, it is important to involve non-traditional stakeholders in the architecture update and visioning process. Input from these stakeholders, both public and private, is a critical part of defining the interfaces, integration needs, and overall vision for ITS in a region.
Table 2 contains a listing of stakeholders in the SEMCOG Region who have participated in the project workshops or provided input to the study team as to the needs and issues that should be considered as part of the Regional ITS Architecture. Other stakeholders that were invited to participate but were not able to attend were provided minutes of workshops and copies of reports to encourage their participation as much as possible. Appendix D contains a copy of the stakeholder database and workshop attendance records.

2 Regional ITS Architecture Development Process The update of the Regional ITS Architecture and Deployment Plan for the SEMCOG Region relied heavily on stakeholder input to ensure that the architecture reflected local needs. A series of four workshops were held with stakeholders to gather input, and draft documents will be made available to stakeholders for review and comment.
The process followed for the SEMCOG Region was designed to ensure that stakeholders could provide input and review for the update of the Region’s ITS Architecture and development of the Deployment Plan. Figure 2 illustrates the process followed.
Figure 2 – SEMCOG Regional ITS Architecture and Deployment Plan Development Process
A total of four workshops with stakeholders over a period of eleven months were used to update the SEMCOG Regional ITS Architecture and develop the Deployment Plan. These workshops included:
• Kick-Off Workshop, October 22, 2007; • Regional ITS Architecture Development Workshop, February 13, 2008; • ITS Deployment Plan Workshop, May 12, 2008; and • Comment Resolution Workshop, October 7, 2008.
Key components of the process are described below:
Task 1 – Kick-Off Workshop and ITS Needs: A stakeholder group was identified that included representatives from regional transportation, transit, and emergency management agencies. The group was invited to the project Kick-Off Workshop where ITS needs for the Region were identified.
Task 2 – System Inventory: Collecting information for the system inventory began at the Kick-Off Workshop through discussions with the stakeholders to determine existing and planned ITS elements in the Region. Several existing documents were referenced after the Kick-Off Workshop, and follow-up calls were conducted with several local stakeholders to gather additional input.
Task 3 – ITS Architecture Workshop and ITS Architecture Development: The purpose of the Regional ITS Architecture Workshop was to review the system inventory with stakeholders and update the SEMCOG Regional ITS Architecture. Training on the National ITS Architecture was integrated into the workshop so that key elements of the architecture, such as market packages, could be explained prior to the selection and editing of these elements. The result of the Regional ITS Architecture Workshop was an ITS Architecture for the SEMCOG Region that included a system inventory,

interconnect diagrams, customized market packages, functional requirements, and relevant ITS standards. Following the workshop, a Draft Regional ITS Architecture document was prepared and sent to stakeholders for review and comment.
Task 4 – ITS Deployment Plan Workshop and ITS Deployment Plan Development: A draft project listing for the Region was presented to stakeholders at the Regional ITS Deployment Plan Workshop. Stakeholders were asked to provide input on the recommended projects, responsible agencies, associated costs, and deployment timeframe. Following the workshop, a Draft Regional ITS Deployment Plan document was prepared and sent to stakeholders for review and comment.
Task 5 – Comment Resolution Workshop and Final Report: A Comment Resolution Workshop was held with stakeholders to review the Draft Regional ITS Architecture and the Draft Regional ITS Deployment Plan. Next steps for the Region were also discussed. Comments were incorporated and the final Regional ITS Architecture was updated and the Regional ITS Deployment Plan was developed.

3 Customization of the National ITS Architecture for the SEMCOG Region
3.1 Systems Inventory
An important initial step in the architecture update process is to establish an inventory of existing ITS elements. At the Kick-Off Workshop and through subsequent discussions with agency representatives, SEMCOG Region stakeholders provided the team with information about existing and planned systems that would play a role in the Region’s ITS Architecture.
The National ITS Architecture has eight groups of ITS service areas. Existing, planned, and future systems in the Region were identified in the following service areas:
Traffic Management – includes the Michigan Intelligent Transportation Systems Center (MITSC) located in Detroit as well as other existing and future TMCs and traffic operations centers (TOCs), detection systems, closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras, fixed and portable dynamic message signs (DMS), and other related technologies.
Emergency Management – includes emergency operations/management centers, improved information sharing among traffic and emergency services, automated vehicle location (AVL) on emergency vehicles, traffic signal preemption for emergency vehicles, and wide-area alerts.
Maintenance and Construction Management – includes work zone management, roadway maintenance and construction information, and road weather detection systems.
Public Transportation Management – includes transit and paratransit AVL, transit travel information systems, electronic fare collection, and transit security.
Commercial Vehicle Operations – includes coordination with Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks (CVISN) efforts, and hazardous material (HAZMAT) management.
Traveler Information – includes broadcast traveler information such as 511, traveler information kiosks, and highway advisory radio (HAR).
Archived Data Management – includes electronic data management and archiving systems. Vehicle Safety – includes collision avoidance and automated highway systems.
3.2 Regional Needs
Needs from the Region were identified by Stakeholders at the Kick-Off Workshop held in October of 2007. The needs identified provided guidance for determining which market packages should be included in the architecture. Stakeholders identified ITS needs for the SEMCOG Region in the following areas:

Section 3.4.3 contains additional information about the specific needs identified and relates those needs to the market packages that document the corresponding ITS service.
3.3 Element Customization
The inventory and needs documented at the Kick-Off Workshop are the starting point for update of the ITS architecture for the SEMCOG Region. These ITS systems and components are used to customize the National ITS Architecture and update the architecture for the SEMCOG Region.
When developing customized elements, the stakeholder group agreed not to establish individual traffic, maintenance, and emergency management elements for individual cities within the SEMCOG Region. Detroit, Ann Arbor, the Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC), the Road Commission of Macomb County (RCMC), and Wayne County were the only local agencies individually identified and documented. The smaller communities in the Region were documented as part of the local agency elements. During the update of the regional architecture, the stakeholders agreed to this collective grouping under Local Agencies. This documentation allows the communities to be included in the Regional ITS Architecture, and therefore eligible to use federal monies on potential future ITS deployments. As individual communities or counties deploy user services, the Architecture can be updated to uniquely capture those agencies.
3.3.1 Subsystems and Terminators
Each identified system or component in the SEMCOG Regional ITS inventory was mapped to a subsystem or terminator in the National ITS Architecture. Subsystems and terminators are the entities that represent systems in ITS.
Subsystems are the highest level building blocks of the physical architecture, and the National ITS Architecture groups them into four major classes: Centers, Field, Vehicles, and Travelers. Each of these major classes includes various components that represent a set of transportation functions (or processes). Each set of functions is grouped under one agency, jurisdiction, or location, and corresponds to physical elements such as: traffic operations centers, traffic signals, or vehicles. Figure 3 shows the National ITS Architecture subsystems. This figure, also known as the “sausage diagram,” is a standard interconnect diagram, showing the relationships of the various subsystems within the architecture. A customized interconnect diagram for the SEMCOG Region is shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5. Communication functions between the subsystems are represented in the ovals. Fixed-point to fixed-point communications include not only twisted pair and fiber optic technologies, but also wireless technologies such as microwave and spread spectrum.
Terminators are the people, systems, other facilities, and environmental conditions outside of ITS that need to communicate or interface with ITS subsystems. Terminators help define the boundaries of the National ITS Architecture as well as a regional system. Examples of terminators include: drivers, weather information providers, and information service providers.

3.3.2 ITS Inventory by Stakeholder
Each stakeholder is associated with one or more systems or elements (subsystems and terminators) that make up the transportation system in the SEMCOG Region. A review of the existing regional architecture was performed once the updated list of stakeholders was developed. Any stakeholder that was no longer included in the regional architecture was either consolidated with similar stakeholders under a new stakeholder name or removed. Table 3 shows the list of stakeholders that were simply removed from the regional architecture along with a comment where needed. Most of these were removed simply because they were not represented within any of the selected market packages.
A listing of stakeholders, as identified in the architecture, can be found in Table 4. A second column in the table lists stakeholders from the existing regional architecture that are now represented by the identified stakeholder. The table also includes a description of the stakeholder as it is defined in the regional architecture. For example, rather than individually documenting each of the smaller local agencies in the Region, a single stakeholder was named for local agencies, and represents the counties, cities, and towns not specifically called out in the architecture. Table 5 sorts the inventory by stakeholder so that each stakeholder can easily identify and review all of the architecture elements associated with their agency. The table includes the status of the element. In many cases, an element classified as existing might still need to be enhanced to attain the service level desired by the Region.

3.3.3 Top Level Regional System Interconnect Diagram
A system interconnect diagram, or “sausage diagram” (shown previously in Figure 3), shows the systems and primary interconnects in the Region. The National ITS Architecture interconnect diagram has been customized for the SEMCOG Region based on the system inventory and information gathered from the stakeholders. Figure 4 and Figure 5 summarize the existing and planned ITS elements for the SEMCOG Region in the context of a physical interconnect. Subsystems and elements specific to the Region are called out in the boxes surrounding the main interconnect diagram, and these are color-coded to the subsystem with which they are associated.

3.4 Market Packages
Upon completion of the system inventory, the next step in the update of the architecture was to identify the transportation services that are important to the SEMCOG Region. In the National ITS Architecture, services are referred to as market packages. Market packages can include several stakeholders and elements that work together to provide a service in the Region. Examples of market packages from the National ITS Architecture include Network Surveillance, Traffic Information Dissemination, and Transit Vehicle Tracking. There are currently a total of 91 market packages identified in the National ITS Architecture Version 6.0. Appendix A provides definitions for each of the National ITS Architecture market packages.
The market packages are grouped together into eight ITS service areas: Traffic Management, Emergency Management, Maintenance and Construction Management, Public Transportation Management, Commercial Vehicle Operations, Traveler Information, Archived Data Management, and Vehicle Safety.
3.4.1 Selection and Prioritization of Regional Market Packages
In the SEMCOG Region, the National ITS Architecture market packages were reviewed by the stakeholders and selected based on the relevance of the service that the market package could provide to the Region. Fifty-one market packages were selected for implementation in the Region. They are identified in Table 6. The selected market packages were then prioritized based on need and do not necessarily represent the timeframe for funding of these deployments. The table organizes the market packages into service areas and priority groupings. These priorities can also be affected by several other factors such as existing infrastructure, dependency on other systems, and the maturity of the technology associated with the market package.
After selecting the market packages that were applicable for the Region, stakeholders reviewed each market package and the elements that could be included to customize it for the Region. This customization is discussed further in the following section.

3.4.2 Customized Market Packages
The market packages in the National ITS Architecture were customized to reflect the unique systems, subsystems, and terminators in the SEMCOG Region. Each market package is shown graphically with the market package name, local agencies involved and desired data flows included. Market packages represent a service that will be deployed as an integrated capability.
Figure 6 is an example of an ATMS market package for Surface Street Control that has been customized for the Region. This market package shows the two subsystems Traffic Management and Roadway, and the associated entities (RCOC TOC and RCOC Traffic Signals and MDOT Traffic Signals) for surface street control in the Region. Data flows between the subsystems indicate what information is being shared. The remainder of the market packages that were customized for the SEMCOG Region is shown in Appendix B.
Figure 6 – Example Market Package Diagram: ATMS03 – Surface Street Control
3.4.3 Regional ITS Needs and Customized Market Packages
Input received from stakeholders at the Architecture Workshop provided valuable input for the market package customization process. The specific needs identified are included in Table 7. The table also identifies which market package documents the particular ITS need. There was one institutional need, requiring policy or organization decisions that cannot be addressed with a technological solution or a market package. It was the need for a privacy policy statement to address who can access specific data. While the architecture itself cannot provide a solution for this need, it is important to document these need so it can be referenced as probe data and similar projects are designed and deployed.

3.5 Architecture Interfaces
While it is important to identify the various systems and stakeholders that are part of a regional ITS, a primary purpose of the architecture is to identify the connectivity between transportation systems in the SEMCOG Region. The system interconnect diagram shown previously in Figure 6 showed the high-level relationships of the subsystems and terminators in the SEMCOG Region and the associated local projects and systems. The customized market packages represent services that can be deployed as an integrated capability and the market package diagrams show the information flows between the subsystems and terminators that are most important to the operation of the market packages. How these systems interface with each other is an integral part of the overall ITS architecture.
3.5.1 Element Connections
There are a variety of different elements identified as part of the SEMCOG Regional ITS Architecture. These elements include traffic management centers, transit vehicles, dispatch systems, emergency management agencies, media outlets, and others—essentially, all of the existing and planned physical components that contribute to the regional ITS. Interfaces have been identified for each element in the SEMCOG Region ITS Architecture and each element has been mapped to those other elements with which it must interface. The Turbo Architecture software can generate interconnect diagrams for each element in the Region that show which elements are connected to one another. Figure 7 is an example of a context style interconnect diagram from the Turbo database output. This particular interconnect diagram is for the MDOT MI Drive Web Site and is called a context diagram because it shows every element in the architecture that connect with the web site.

3.5.2 Data Flows Between Elements
In the market package diagrams, flows between the subsystems and terminators define the specific information (data) that is exchanged between the elements and the direction of the exchange. The data flows could be requests for information, alerts and messages, status requests, broadcast advisories, event messages, confirmations, electronic credentials, and other key information requirements. Turbo Architecture can be used to output flow diagrams and can be filtered by market package for ease of interpretation; however, it is important to remember that custom data flows will not show up in diagrams that are filtered by market package. An example of a flow diagram for the RCOC TOC that has been filtered for RCOC Field Sensors is shown in Figure 8.
The flow diagrams can vary greatly in complexity and, in turn, legibility. Figure 9 shows a more complex flow diagram for ATMS06 – Traffic Information Dissemination – RCOC TOC.

In addition to market package style flow diagrams, Turbo Architecture has the ability to create flow diagrams that show only the connections between two or three specific elements or context diagrams that show all of the flows that involve an element. Filtering the diagrams to generate specific scenarios can be very useful during the project implementation process. For example, Figure 10 shows the flows between the MDOT MITSC and the MTO (Province of Ontario Ministry of Transportation). While this is a portion of the planned interactions, it could also be useful to use a context diagram for the element, as shown in Figure 11 to view all of the other interactions so that the project can be designed with the future in mind. Context style flow diagrams can get very large and complicated for elements with lots of connections such as a TMC.

11/14/2008 SEMCOG 48 Final Regional ITS Architecture
4 Application of the Regional ITS Architecture Once a region has identified the desired components of ITS for their area and established which agencies and systems need to be connected, the structure of the National ITS Architecture assists with the region’s planning and implementation. This section addresses the application of the Regional ITS Architecture in the SEMCOG Region. The National ITS Architecture provides recommendations for standards and functional requirements that should be considered when implementing ITS elements. In addition, the operational concept was updated for the Region to document the roles and responsibilities of stakeholders in the operation of the regional ITS. The implementation of ITS in the SEMCOG Region will likely require interagency agreements. Potential agreements will be identified based on the desired data flows identified in the SEMCOG Region. The update of the ITS Architecture and the development of the ITS Deployment Plan, completed as part of this process, will be incorporated into the existing planning process for the Region to ensure that the maximum benefit is realized from the development effort.
4.1 Functional Requirements
Functions are a description of what the system has to do. In the National ITS Architecture, functions are defined at several different levels, ranging from general subsystem descriptions through somewhat more specific equipment package descriptions to process specifications that include substantial detail. Guidance from the USDOT on developing a Regional ITS Architecture recommends that each Region determine the level of detail of the functional requirements for their Region. In the SEMCOG Region, it is recommended that the development of detailed functional requirements such as the “shall” statements included in process specifications for a system be developed at the project level. These detailed “shall” statements identify all functions that a project or system needs to perform.
For the SEMCOG Regional ITS Architecture, functional requirements have been identified at two levels. The customized market packages, discussed previously in Section 3.4.2, describe the services that ITS needs to provide in the Region and the architecture flows between the elements. These market packages and data flows describe what systems in the SEMCOG Region have to do and the data that needs to be shared among elements.
At a more detailed level, functional requirements for the SEMCOG Region are described in terms of functions that each element in the architecture performs or will perform in the future. Appendix C contains a table that summarizes the functions by element.
4.2 Standards
Standards are an important tool that will allow efficient implementation of the elements in the SEMCOG Regional ITS Architecture over time. Standards facilitate deployment of interoperable systems at local, regional, and national levels without impeding innovation as technology advances, vendors change, and as new approaches evolve. The USDOT’s ITS Joint Program Office is supporting Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) with an extensive, multi-year program of accelerated, consensus-based standards development to facilitate successful ITS deployment in the United States. Table 8 identifies each of the ITS standards that could apply to the SEMCOG Regional ITS Architecture. These standards are based on the physical subsystem architecture flows previously identified in Section 3.5.2.

4.3 Operational Concepts
An operational concept documents each stakeholder’s current and future roles and responsibilities across a range of transportation services, as grouped in the Operational Concepts section of Turbo Architecture, in the operation of the regional ITS. The services covered are:
Arterial Management – The development of signal systems that react to changing traffic conditions and provide coordinated intersection timing over a corridor, an area, or multiple jurisdictions.
Highway Management – The development of systems to monitor freeway (or tollway) traffic flow and roadway conditions, and provide strategies such as ramp metering or lane access control to improve the flow of traffic on the freeway. Includes systems to provide information to travelers on the roadway.
Incident Management – The development of systems to provide rapid and effective response to incidents. Includes systems to detect and verify incidents, along with coordinated agency response to the incidents.
Emergency Management – The development of systems to provide emergency call taking, public safety dispatch, and emergency operations center operations.
Maintenance and Construction Management – The development of systems to manage the maintenance of roadways in the Region, including winter snow and ice clearance. Includes the managing of construction operations.
Transit Management – The development of systems to more efficiently manage fleets of transit vehicles or transit rail. Includes systems to provide transit traveler information both pre-trip and during the trip.
Electronic Payment – The development of electronic fare payment systems for use by transit and other agencies (e.g., parking).
Commercial Vehicle Operations – The development of systems to facilitate the management of commercial vehicles (e.g., electronic clearance).
Traveler Information – The development of systems to provide static and real time transportation information to travelers.
Archived Data Management – The development of systems to collect transportation data for use in non-operational purposes (e.g., planning and research).

4.4 Potential Agreements
The Regional ITS Architecture for the SEMCOG Region has identified many agency interfaces, information exchanges, and integration strategies that would be needed to provide the ITS services and systems identified by the stakeholders in the Region. Interfaces and data flows among public and private entities in the Region will require agreements among agencies that establish parameters for sharing agency information to support traffic management, incident management, provide traveler information, and perform other functions identified in the Regional ITS Architecture.
With the implementation of ITS technologies, integrating systems from one or more agencies, and the anticipated level of information exchange identified in the architecture, formal agreements between agencies will be needed in the future. These agreements, while perhaps not requiring a financial commitment from agencies in the Region, should outline specific roles, responsibilities, data exchanges, levels of authority, and other facets of regional operations. Some agreements also will outline specific funding responsibilities, where appropriate and applicable.
Agreements should avoid being specific with regards to technology when possible. Technology is likely to change rapidly and changes to technology could require an update of the agreement if the agreement was not technology neutral. Focus of the agreement should be on the responsibilities of the agencies and the high level information that needs to be exchanged. Depending on the type of agreement being used, agencies should be prepared for the process to complete an agreement to take several months to years. Agencies must first reach consensus on what should be in an agreement and then proceed through the approval process. The approval process for formal agreements varies by agency and can often be quite lengthy, so it is recommended that agencies plan ahead to ensure that the agreement does not delay the project.
When implementing an agreement for ITS, it is recommended that as a first step any existing agreements are reviewed to determine whether they can be amended or modified to include the additional requirements that will come with deploying a system. If there are no existing agreements that can be modified or used for ITS implementation, then a new agreement will need to be developed. The formality and type of agreement used is a key consideration. If the arrangement will be in effect for an extended duration or involve any sort of long term maintenance, then written agreements should be used. Often during long term operations, staff may change and a verbal agreement between agency representatives may be forgotten by new staff.
Common agreement types and potential applications include:
Handshake Agreement: Handshake agreements are often used in the early stage of a project. This type of informal agreement depends very much on relationships between agencies and may not be appropriate for long term operations where staff is likely to change.
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU): A MOU demonstrates general consensus or willingness to participate as part of a particular project but is not typically very detailed.
Interagency and Intergovernmental Agreements: These agreements between public agencies can be used for operation, maintenance, or funding of its projects and systems. They can include documentation on the responsibility of each agency, functions they will provide, and liability.
Funding Agreements: Funding agreements document the funding arrangements for ITS projects. At a minimum, funding agreements include a detailed scope, services to be performed, and a detailed project budget.
11/14/2008 SEMCOG 65 Final Regional ITS Architecture
Master Agreements: Master agreements include standard contract language for an agency and serve as the main agreement between two entities which guides all business transactions. Use of a master agreement can allow an agency to do business with another agency or private entity without having to go through the often lengthy development of a formal agreement each time.
Table 10 provides a list of existing and potential agreements for the SEMCOG Region based on the interfaces identified in the Regional ITS Architecture. It is important to note that as ITS services and systems are implemented in the Region, part of the planning and review process for those projects should include a review of potential agreements that would be needed for implementation or operations.
Table 10 – SEMCOG Region Potential Agreements
Status Agreement and Agencies Agreement Description
Future Joint Operations/Shared Control Agreements (Public-Public or Public-Private)
These agreements would allow joint operations or control of certain systems and equipment. The agreement should define such items as hours of operation and time of day/day of week when shared control would take effect, circumstances, or incidents when shared control would take effect, notification procedures between the agencies agreeing to share control arrangements, overriding capabilities of owning agency, etc. Private agencies, such as information service providers that provide traffic reports, could also be part of this agreement.
Future Data Sharing and Usage (Public-Public)
These agreements would define the parameters, guidelines, and policies for inter- and intra-agency ITS data sharing. This data sharing would support regional activities related to traffic management, incident management, traveler information, and other functions. The terms of this agreement should generally address such items as types of data and information to be shared, how the information will be used (traffic incident information to be shared, displayed on web site for travel information, distributed to private media, etc.), and parameters for data format, quality, security.
Future Data Sharing and Usage (Public-Private)
These agreements would define the parameters, guidelines, and policies for private sector (such as the media or other information service providers) use of ITS data. This type of agreement is recommended to define terms of use for broadcasting public-agency information regarding traffic conditions, closures, restrictions, as well as video images. Agreements can also include requirements for the media to ‘source’ the information (i.e., using the providing agency’s logo on all video images broadcast.
Future Mutual Aid Agreements (Public-Public)
Mutual aid agreements often exist as either formal or informal arrangements. They are a routine practice among many public safety and emergency services agencies. Formal mutual aid agreements will become more important as agencies integrate systems and capabilities, particularly automated dispatch and notification. Formalized agreements should be considered as ITS or other electronic data sharing systems are implemented in the Region.

4.5 Phases of Implementation
The Regional ITS Architecture will be implemented over time through a series of projects led by both public sector and private sector agencies. Key foundation systems will need to be implemented in order to support other systems that have been identified in the Regional ITS Architecture. The deployment of all of the systems required to achieve the final Regional ITS Architecture build out will occur over many years.
A sequence of projects and their respective time frames have been identified in the SEMCOG Regional ITS Deployment Plan. These projects have been sequenced over a 10 to 15-year period, with projects identified for deployment in the short term (0 to 3 years), medium term (4 to 8 years), and long term (greater than 8 years). These projects are provided in Table 57, Table 58, and Table 59. Individual projects can be found in the Deployment Plan.
Some of the key market package areas that will provide the functions for the foundation systems in the SEMCOG Region are listed below. Projects associated with these and other market packages identified for the Region have been included in the SEMCOG Regional ITS Deployment Plan.
Network Surveillance; Emergency Management; Maintenance and Construction Vehicle Tracking; Weather Information Processing and Distribution; Surface Street Control; Traffic Information Dissemination; and Vehicle Tracking.
4.6 Incorporation into the Regional Planning Process
As an MPO, SEMCOG is responsible for coordinating transportation planning and programming activities among the variety of transportation agencies and stakeholders involved in Southeastern Michigan. To date, SEMCOG has been active in the development and administration of the region’s ITS Architecture and has been involved in ITS on a variety of levels including its sponsorship of a traffic operations committee; its role in the development of the Regional Concept of Traffic Operations; and its role as a broker of CMAQ funds in the region, which often are used to fund ITS and operations projects. The purpose of this section is to discuss how this update of the regional ITS architecture and the strategic deployment plan can be integrated into the standard processes of the MPO. Even within the one element of transportation, SEMCOG has to balance an approach that can address several facets including public transportation, commercial vehicle operations, freeway and arterial operations, and ITS solutions. This section will present a methodology that integrates the development and maintenance of the regional ITS architecture and deployment plan with the other transportation planning responsibilities of SEMCOG.
Figure 12 depicts several of the processes involved in planning transportation projects and how the ITS project planning components integrate with other existing SEMCOG transportation planning processes. MPOs are required to meet multiple Federal Regulations in order to receive
11/14/2008 SEMCOG 67 Final Regional ITS Architecture
federal funding for their transportation programs. Development and maintenance of a Regional ITS Architecture is one of these requirements. The development of a deployment plan is not required, but has been recognized as a beneficial process for prioritizing the deployment of ITS projects. These two plans are more easily integrated in the overall planning process when they occur early.
Currently, SEMCOG revises the Congestion Management System (CMS) and the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) concurrently every four years. Since these documents are developed in tandem, the recommendations and projects that result are aligned when the documents are adopted. The regional ITS architecture and deployment plan should be referenced during the development of these documents. The ITS architecture and deployment plan analyze specific technology based projects to address identified needs for the region. The LRTP should integrate the ITS projects with other non-technology based solutions into a regional plan for addressing transportation needs.
Based on the LRTP and the CMS, SECMOG can begin to program specific projects. Two project requests are solicited on an annual basis. The CMAQ call for projects covers all of SEMCOG and ranks projects based on their estimated impact on reducing pollutants and improving the air quality for the region. To aid in ranking in these projects, SEMCOG has developed a scoring matrix for evaluating the impacts of these projects. The MDOT IPO solicits an ITS call for projects to each of its regions. The Metro and University Region must each submit their prioritized list of projects. These projects are programmed in conjunction with the list of project submitted by all of the other regions. The ITS lists of projects are then integrated with other transportation projects into the MDOT 5 Year Plan. The 5 Year Plan is revised annually at which time it updates the remaining 4 years of unconstructed projects and expands to include the new 5th year of projects. It is important to note that the 5 Year Plan includes all MDOT transportation projects and not just ITS projects. Projects identified through the CMAQ call for projects and the MDOT ITS call for projects are combined to make the Short Range Transportation Plan or Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). This plan is revised every two years based on the feedback from the MPO and the MDOT contacts.
Before a project can continue along the course towards design and construction, federal conformance must be verified. MDOT has adopted a Regional Architecture documentation and conformance method, which is present in Section 5. If the project is not currently captured in the regional ITS architecture, the architecture must be revised to capture the proposed project. Secondly, the project must be shown in the LRTP to show the support of the MPO is in place. If it is not shown in the LRTP, an MPO approved amendment is required. Lastly, the project should be accurately shown in the TIP. If it is not in the TIP, then an approved TIP amendment is required. Once these three requirements are met, the project can be approved for design and construction and the use of Federal Funds.

5 Use and Maintenance Plan for the Regional ITS Architecture The ITS Architecture update and the Deployment Plan for the SEMCOG Region address the Region’s vision for ITS implementation at the time the plan was completed. Stakeholders invested a considerable amount of effort in the update of the Regional ITS Architecture and the development of the Regional ITS Deployment Plan. As the Region grows, needs will change, and, as technology progresses, new ITS opportunities will arise. Shifts in regional needs and focus as well as changes in the National ITS Architecture will necessitate that the SEMCOG Regional ITS Architecture be updated to remain a useful resource for the Region.
The following section outlines how the Region and its stakeholders can work with the MDOT ITS Program Office and SEMCOG to ensure projects are in conformity and also provide updates as ITS evolves in the region.
5.1 Process for Determining Architecture Conformity
The SEMCOG Regional ITS Architecture and Deployment Plan documents the customized market packages that were updated as part of the ITS architecture process. To satisfy federal requirements and remain eligible to use federal funds, a project must be accurately documented. To document the conformity of an ITS project with the regional architecture, MDOT's ITS Program Office will coordinate with SEMCOG on the implementation of a regional architecture conformance form to guide project managers through the process. The project managers will be able to coordinate with the ITS Program Office, SEMCOG, and regional contact for additional assistance and guidance. The steps of the process are as follows:
Identify the ITS components in the project; Identify the corresponding market packages(s) from the Regional ITS Architecture; Locate the component within the market package; Compare the connections to other agencies or elements documented in the ITS architecture as
well as the information flows between them to the connections that will be part of the project; Assess the use of relevant standards; and Document any changes necessary to the ITS Architecture or the project to ensure there is
conformance.
Identifying the ITS Components
ITS components can be fairly apparent in an ITS focused project such as CCTV camera or DMS deployments, but also could be included in other types of projects. For example, an arterial widening project could include the installation of signal system interconnect, signal upgrades, and the incorporation of the signals located within the project limits into a transportation agency’s signal system. These are all ITS deployments and should be part of the regional ITS architecture.
Identifying the Corresponding Market Packages
If a project was included in the Deployment Plan, then the applicable market package(s) for that project are identified in a column. ITS projects are not required to be included in the ITS Deployment Plan in order to be eligible for federal funding; therefore, market packages might need to be identified without the assistance of an ITS Deployment Plan. In that case, the market packages selected and customized for the SEMCOG Region are identified in Table 6 of this document; detailed market package definitions are located in Appendix A; and customized market packages for the Region are included in Appendix B.
11/14/2008 SEMCOG 71 Final Regional ITS Architecture
Identifying the Component within the Market Package
The customized market packages for the SEMCOG Region are located in Appendix B. Once the element is located on the market package, the evaluator may determine that the element name should be modified. For example, an element called the MDOT MITSC was included in the architecture, but at the time of deployment, MDOT may decide to call the center by a new name once the location is finalized. This name change should be documented using the process outlined in Section 1.3.
Evaluating the Connections and Flows
The connections and architecture flows documented in the market package diagrams were selected based on the information available at the time the plan was updated. As the projects are designed, decisions will be made on the system layout that might differ from what is shown in the market package. These changes in the project should be documented in the ITS market packages using the process outlined in Section 1.3.
Relevant Standards
ITS Standards are documented guidelines or rules specifying the interconnections among elements and the characteristics of technologies and products to be used in ITS installations. Standards describe in detail what types of interfaces should exist between ITS components and how the components will exchange information and work together to deliver certain user services. The SEMCOG Regional ITS Architecture highlights the relevant standards based on the region’s needs. These standards should be reviewed as part of this conformity exercise. Where standards can be utilized, they should be noted. Where standards are not or could not be utilized, an explanation of why, also should be noted. The Standards identified based on the SEMCOG ITS Regional Architecture are presented in Section 4.2 and Table 8.
Documenting Required Changes
If any changes are needed to accommodate the project under review, Section 1.3 describes how those changes should be documented. Any changes will be incorporated during the next architecture update. Conformance will be accomplished by documenting how the market package(s) should be modified so that the connections and data flows are consistent with the project.
5.2 Maintenance Process
MDOT’s ITS Program Office will work closely with SEMCOG to lead the maintenance of the SEMCOG Regional ITS Architecture and Deployment Plan in coordination with the regional contact. Maintenance includes modifications to the plan as well as completes updates. Table 12 summarizes the maintenance process agreed upon by stakeholders in the Region.

* Transit related projects will be supported by MDOT’s Bureau of Passenger Transportation
Modifications to the Regional ITS Architecture and Deployment Plan will often be necessitated by ITS projects that are receiving federal funding but do not conform to the Regional ITS Architecture. MDOT’s ITS Program Office will take the lead in working with agencies that receive federal funding for ITS projects and will keep a record of any changes that are needed to the Regional ITS Architecture. Complete updates to the Regional ITS Architecture will occur approximately every five to seven years and will be led by the MDOT ITS Program Office with support from the SEMCOG Region and other key stakeholders. The entire stakeholder group that was engaged to update this revision of the Regional ITS Architecture will be reconvened for the complete updates.
5.3 Procedure for Submitting ITS Architecture Changes between Scheduled Updates
Updates to the SEMCOG Regional ITS Architecture will occur on a regular basis as described in Section 1.2 to maintain the architecture as a useful planning tool. Between complete plan updates, smaller modifications will likely be required to accommodate ITS projects in the Region. Section 1.1 contains step by step guidance for determining whether or not a project requires architecture modifications.
For situations where a change is required, an ITS Architecture Conformance and Maintenance Documentation Form was developed and is included in Appendix E. This form should be completed and submitted to the MDOT ITS Program Office and SEMCOG whenever a change to
11/14/2008 SEMCOG 73 Final Regional ITS Architecture
the Regional ITS Architecture or Deployment Plan is proposed. Please note that MDOT’s Bureau of Passenger Transportation also should be copied if the project has a transit related component.
The Maintenance Documentation form identifies three levels of modifications. They include:
Level 1 – Basic changes that do not affect the structure of the architecture. Examples include: Changes to stakeholder or element name, element status, or data flow status.
Level 2 – Structural changes that impact only one agency. Examples include: Addition of a new market package or modifications to an existing market package that affects only one agency.
Level 3 – Structural changes that have the potential to impact multiple agencies. Examples include: Addition of a new market package or modifications to an existing market package that involves multiple agencies or incorporation of a new stakeholder into the architecture.
While documenting the proposed change, the project manager completing the change form should coordinate with any of the other agencies that may be impacted by the modification. This communication between agencies will simplify the process of performing a complete plan update. MDOT’s ITS Program Office and SEMCOG will review and accept the proposed changes. When a complete update is performed by MDOT’s ITS Program Office and SEMCOG, all of the documented changes will be incorporated into the regional ITS architecture. Figure 13 graphically illustrates this process.
