Summary
The *ITS/Operations Resource Guide 2007*, published by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), serves as a comprehensive reference tool for government agencies, industry professionals, and the public. Its primary objective is to consolidate and provide access to over 400 resources related to Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and innovative transportation operations strategies. The guide aims to promote public understanding and facilitate the deployment of ITS technologies by aggregating documents, videos, websites, training courses, software tools, and points of contact. Most listed resources were developed under federal sponsorship, though the guide also includes useful non-federal materials. The guide is organized by specific topic areas to function as a handy desk reference. It is divided into major sections including ITS Initiatives, Systems Operations, Safety, and ITS Deployment Support. Key initiatives covered include Clarus, Cooperative Intersection Collision Avoidance Systems, Electronic Freight Management, Integrated Corridor Management Systems, and Vehicle Infrastructure Integration. Systems Operations topics range from arterial operations and freeway management to tolling, pricing, and traffic incident management. The Safety section addresses commercial vehicle information systems, emergency management, and highway-rail intersections. Each section begins with a list of DOT points of contact to assist users in identifying relevant personnel for technical assistance. The seventh edition introduced new content, including a chapter on Intelligent Safety Systems featuring a National Highway Institute training course, resources for access management and planned special events, and materials related to the Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks (CVISN) program. Featured resources highlighted in the guide include the ITS Joint Program Office website, the FHWA Office of Operations website, and the National Transportation Operations Coalition (NTOC) website. The guide also directs users to the NTOC Talks e-newsletter, the "Moving the American Economy" congestion reduction strategy website, and the Transportation Communications newsletter. Additional key resources include the Operations/ITS HelpLine, which provides personalized assistance and connects users with expert peers, and the ITS Library, an electronic repository containing nearly 2,000 documents. The guide references specific reports, such as the *Intelligent Transportation Systems Benefits, Costs, and Lessons Learned: 2005 Update*, which synthesizes data on ITS project impacts, and the *Traffic Congestion and Reliability* report, which analyzes congestion trends and mitigation strategies. The significance of this guide lies in its role as a centralized gateway to the U.S. DOT’s National ITS Program. By providing direct access to technical assistance, databases, and expert contacts, it supports the planning, design, deployment, and maintenance of ITS projects. The guide facilitates the realization of benefits associated with innovative transportation strategies, such as improved safety, efficiency, mobility, and productivity. It serves as an indispensable tool for stakeholders seeking to navigate the complex landscape of transportation operations and ITS deployment, ensuring that users can quickly identify appropriate resources and connect with the relevant federal personnel.
