Notes:
The target audience for the Improving Highway Safety with Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) WBT includes safety, transportation operations, and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) professionals including, but not limited to, traffic engineering, highway and traffic safety, planning, operations, and design personnel. The information presented in this course is important for individuals from both safety and ITS disciplines so that they have an awareness and understanding of ITS strategies and options that may improve highway safety. It is also important for individuals in these disciplines to have a common language and understanding of ITS applications and technology and how they could improve highway safety (not just mobility). A secondary audience for this course is individuals in an influential position (decision-makers, higher-level managers, individuals responsible for putting together the capital program for the agency, etc.) that need to understand the role that ITS has in preserving the safety of our roadways. Additionally, this course would be beneficial to anyone looking for ways to improve highway safety including, but not limited to, emergency management and maintenance personnel depending on their role and responsibilities in their organization.
