Overview
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has adapted the Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSMO) Capability Maturity Model (CMM) to describe the operational maturity of Infrastructure Owner-Operator (IOO) agencies across a range of important dimensions. Agencies can use the CMM to develop action plans to move agencies capabilities from one level to the next. In many respects, the connectivity of vehicles and travelers with infrastructure represents the next generation of TSMO advancement. Vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) technologies will provide enhancements to many existing TSMO applications and enable many new services that improve safety, mobility, and the environment. Implementation of V2I will require significant improvements in the essential capabilities for effective TSMO as well as require many improvements in agency maturity regarding organization, systems, technology, and business processes. The capability maturity model presented in this report provides a template for IOOs to develop action plans supporting effective and efficient implementation of Connected Vehicle program capabilities. A wide range of agency activities in each key dimension are identified to form the basis for constructing a connected vehicle program plan, or moving an existing connected vehicle program to a higher level of maturity
