The Bay Area ITS Plan contains many details regarding Elements that define the Plan.
An Element is the name given by stakeholders for a portion of their ITS related operations. Elements fall into four general categories:
- Centers (e.g. the Caltrans D4 Transportation Management Center or the AC Transit Operations System)
- Field devices (e.g. 511.org Roadside Equipment)
- Vehicles (e.g. MUNI Fixed Route Vehicles)
- Traveler Interface Devices (e.g. Kiosks (transit)
For each Element the following information is provided:
- Description of what it is
- Status in terms of existing, planned or
future
- Stakeholder that is the Element owner/operator
- What function
that the Element performs (called Mapping on the detail pages) (e.g. Traffic Management)
- Interfaces the Element has with other elements in terms of information
shared and exchanged
- ITS Services Diagrams that illustrate how the
various subsystems and data flows support the function that the Element
performs(listed under Market Packages on the detail page)
- Components of the subsystems in deployable building blocks or processes (called Equipment Packages on the Detail page)
Elements in the Bay Area ITS Plan can be searched in two ways:
Elements (by stakeholder)
Elements (by function)
