Border-Wide Assessment of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Technology—Current and Future Concepts

Overview

The purpose of this effort was to conduct a border-wide assessment of the use of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technologies and operational concepts at and near land border crossings between the U.S. and Mexico. The work focused on tolling, traffic management and operations, and safety. The specific objectives of this project were to research, assess and document how ITS technologies can be used in areas of:

  • Toll collection and management in border regions, identifying technology used, system components, and any special data sharing arrangements between the two countries.
  • Transportation operations and traffic management in US/MX border regions.
  • Transportation safety policy and operations.
  • Traffic management, traffic operation and traffic enforcement on tolled roads/tolled border-crossing roads.
  • Archiving toll and traffic management data.
