T3 Webinars are brought to you by the ITS Professional Capacity Building Program (ITS PCB) at the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) ITS Joint Program Office (JPO).

Background

The Architecture Reference for Cooperative and Intelligent Transportation (ARC-IT) provides a common framework for planning, defining, and integrating intelligent transportation systems (ITS). It reflects the contributions of a broad cross-section of the ITS community (transportation practitioners, systems engineers, system developers, technology specialists, consultants, etc.). All of the content of the Architecture is available on one website (www.arc-it.net). Join the USDOT and the Architecture team for a webinar to learn about recent updates to the USDOT’s Architecture Reference for Cooperative & Integrated Transportation (known as ARC-IT). Version 9.2, released in September, is a significant update of the US National ITS Architecture Reference focusing on improvements that support Multimodal Accessible Travel (MAT), the Management of Electronic Traffic Regulations (METR) and other new concepts and refinements. This webinar will also include discussions from the perspective of a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) as they have applied some of these new services for their own regional ITS architecture.
