Development of a Special Topics Course on Intelligent Transportation Systems

Development of a Special Topics Course on Intelligent Transportation Systems for the
Zachry Department of Civil Engineering of Texas A&M University
University Transportation Center for Mobility
September 2009

With Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), engineers and system integrators blend emerging detection/surveillance, communications, and computer technologies with transportation management and control concepts to improve the safety and mobility of the surface transportation system. Individuals responsible for developing, deploying, and managing ITS projects need a solid foundation not only in transportation engineering concepts and principles but also systems engineering, communications, and technology. This project developed a special topics course on the planning, design, and implementation of ITS projects for transportation management. This course is a graduate-level survey course in which students are provided with the basic knowledge and concepts needed to plan, design, and implement an ITS project that can be deployed in the field.

Glossary of Regional Transportation Systems Management and Operation Terms

Transportation Research Circular E-C133
Transportation Research Board
April 2009



Common terms are necessary for us to understand one another as we develop and improve the management and operations of our transportation systems. Without a universal understanding, it is not possible for us to quickly and efficiently work together. Too often, we use different terms to describe a single concept, event, or device. This glossary was developed to avoid frequently occurring misconceptions that arise as we use different terms for the same meaning. The glossary was developed by professionals in the transportation community to be used by fellow professionals as well as by individuals with whom these professionals deal in the management and operations of transportation systems. It was reviewed by members of various committees of the Transportation Research Board (TRB) and the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)
