The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is currently in the process of developing a statewide Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Architecture and Deployment Plan, along with regional plans for the Bay, Grand, North, Southwest, SEMCOG, and Superior Regions. For an overview of the status of these projects, click here.

Some common examples of ITS include dynamic message signs and cameras along freeways, flood detection on local roads, traffic signal coordination on corridors, traffic signal priority for emergency vehicles, and automated vehicle location for transit vehicles. Click here for an overview of ITS.  ITS creates numerous opportunities for sharing resources and data to improve safety and mobility and reduce operating costs.

The ITS Architecture and Deployment Plans are intended to inventory existing ITS systems, define ITS needs, and lay out a long term plan, statewide and for each region. The intent of the architecture development process is to identify opportunities as they apply to organizations within each region, develop a roadmap for future ITS projects, and allow each region to be eligible for federal funding of ITS projects.
