Region 1 ITS Strategic Implementation Plan Colorado Department of Transportation Executive Summary
i
Executive Summary The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has invested significant resources in the deployment of intelligent transportation system (ITS) infrastructure in Region 1 including numerous ITS devices such as: fiber optic cable on I-70 and I-25, travel time indicators, closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras, Highway Advisory Radio (HAR), weather stations, weigh in motion (WIM) sensors and variable message signs (VMS). CDOT Region 1 intends to continue this investment in intelligent transportation systems in the future given the mobility and safety benefits derived from actively managing the transportation system and the high benefit to cost ratios associated with ITS technology applications.
To ensure that these ITS resources are effectively and efficiently deployed across multiple jurisdictions and agencies, several ITS planning documents have been developed that contain portions or all of Region 1. These documents include:
1. CDOT Statewide ITS Strategic Plan/Architecture
2. ITS Strategic Plan/Architecture for Southeastern Colorado
3. Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) ITS Strategic Plan/Architecture
4. Region 1 VMS Plan
5. CDOT Incident Management Plan ITS Recommendations
These ITS planning documents provide the framework and long-range vision for the implementation of ITS applications in Colorado and Region 1. In addition, it should be noted that Region 1 is working on a business plan for operations on I-70 and new vision for Eisenhower Johnson Tunnel operations. These efforts are expected to be completed later this year.
The realization of the strategic objectives for intelligent transportation systems in Colorado and CDOT’s Region 1 is dependent upon developing specific projects to deploy the enabling infrastructure1 and establish the communication and coordination linkage that do not yet fully exist. The purpose of this Region 1 ITS Strategic Implementation Plan is to consolidate all ITS projects for Region 1 into a single document that will enable Region 1 staff (engineers, planners, designers, maintenance personnel, etc.) to manage the planning, programming and deployment of individual ITS projects.
This Region 1 ITS Strategic Implementation Plan contains all known ITS projects from the previously mentioned ITS planning documents and categorizes the projects within their respective corridors of significance. The specific ITS projects and corridors of significance for Region 1 were identified in the development of the other ITS planning documents and this Plan consolidates them in an organized and efficient manner specifically for Region 1. There are twenty seven (27) corridors of significance in Region 1 As identified in the Statewide ITS Strategic Plan, the enabling infrastructure consists of integrating the CTMC and other major TMCs, deployment of fiber-optic backbone and high speed add/drop multiplexers and connection of existing and deployed devices to the fiber optic backbone.

1. While not all Region 1 corridors of significance (Interstate Highways, statewide significant, significant regional and other regional corridors) currently have ITS projects planned, all corridors have been included in this Plan to facilitate the future development of ITS projects on those corridors. In addition, it should be noted that all ITS projects must be developed using systems engineering analysis (SEA) process.
CDOT is in the process of developing SEA guidelines to be used in conjunction with ITS Regional Architectures regarding project implementation. More information regarding the SEA process is provided in Section 1.
Table 1 below summarizes the Region 1 ITS projects planned for deployment in the short term, med term and long term. The short term, med term, and long term deployment timeframes varied among the three existing ITS planning documents: DRCOG ITS Strategic Plan, ITS Strategic Plan for Southeastern Colorado, and CDOT Incident Management Plan ITS Recommendations. It should be noted that the newly updated DRCOG ITS Strategic Plan does not identify specific projects for deployment and instead uses Transportation Service Areas for guidance on implementing projects. Regardless, all of the Region 1 projects identified in this plan that are in the DRCOG area are consistent with Regional needs.
For purposes of this Plan, all projects for each corridor were considered aggregately in conjunction with the Region’s overall vision of ITS services to be provided on the corridor in order to determine appropriate project deployment timeframes. Although, the plan provides guidance on project deployment timeframes, it should be noted that projects can be accelerated or postponed based on synergies that exist during the decision making process. This allows Region 1 the necessary flexibility to leverage resources and save CDOT implementation costs in the long term.
Table 1 also shows the needed investment (estimated construction costs) in 2007 dollars and is not indexed. The needed investment includes Preliminary and Construction Engineering. It also includes estimated costs for system connectivity. However, it does not include operations and maintenance costs.

Region 1 ITS Strategic Implementation Plan Colorado Department of Transportation

I. Purpose
This Region 1 ITS Strategic Implementation Plan covers the entire geographical area for the Colorado Department of Transportation’s (CDOT) Engineering Region 1. This area extends from the Kansas State Line on the east to Eagle, Lake and Chaffee Counties on the west and approximately from Denver on the north to Colorado Springs on the south while excluding these two cities. Figure 1 depicts the geographic boundaries associated with this Region 1 ITS Strategic Implementation Plan, which is consistent with the area of responsibility for CDOT’s Engineering Region 1.
CDOT has already deployed significant ITS infrastructure in Region 1 including fiber optic cable on I-70 and I-25, travel time indicators, numerous closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras, Highway Advisory Radio (HAR), weather stations, weigh in motion (WIM) sensors and variable message signs (VMS). Figure 2 shows the existing ITS devices that have been deployed in Region 1.
Several intelligent transportation system (ITS) planning documents have been developed to date for Colorado that include portions or all of CDOT’s Region 1. These documents were created in order to define the strategic direction and long-range vision for the deployment of ITS in Colorado, develop a framework for ITS implementation that facilitates multi-jurisdictional coordination and ensure conformance with 23 CFR Part 940. These planning documents include:
1. CDOT Statewide ITS Strategic Plan/Architecture
2. ITS Strategic Plan/Architecture for Southeastern Colorado
3. Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) ITS Strategic Plan/Architecture
4. Region 1 VMS Plan
5. CDOT Incident Management Plan ITS Recommendations
In addition, it should be noted that Region 1 is working on a business plan for operations on I-70 and new vision for Eisenhower Johnson Tunnel operations. These efforts are expected to be completed later this year.
The objective of this Region 1 ITS Strategic Implementation Plan is to develop a single document that Region 1 staff can utilize to effectively manage the deployment of specific ITS projects referenced in the above documents that pertain to Region 1. This Plan will enable Region 1 staff to “champion” the implementation of ITS in Region 1 and facilitate the planning, programming and design of individual ITS projects that will establish the ITS infrastructure required to fulfill the ITS vision for Region 1.
This Plan consolidates all ITS projects from the above documents into a single document that categorizes the specific projects within their respective corridor of significance i.e., Interstate Highways, statewide significant, significant regional and other regional corridors. The individual projects and corridors were originally prioritized during the development, and within the context, of these other ITS planning documents. As the transportation needs of Region 1 change over time and individual ITS projects are implemented, this Plan should be updated to reflect the current status of the Region 1
Region 1 ITS Strategic Implementation Plan Colorado Department of Transportation

ITS program. Revisions can and should include the modification of existing and addition of new ITS projects, changes in priority and sequencing of projects and modification and/or addition of corridors, as appropriate.
This Region 1 ITS Strategic Implementation Plan does not supersede or replace any of the existing ITS planning documents, but rather establishes an ITS planning tool specifically for Region 1. The other ITS planning documents contain valuable information regarding the deployment of ITS. This Plan is specifically targeted for Region 1 utilization, however, and only contains information relevant to ITS implementation in Region 1. The other ITS planning documents should continue to be referenced by the Region 1 staff to ensure that the ITS projects mentioned in subsequent sections are deployed in a manner consistent with multi-jurisdictional objectives. For example, Region 1 ITS projects that are also within the DRCOG area should be implemented in conformance with the DRCOG ITS Architecture to ensure multi-agency communication and coordination is achieved and device interoperability and jurisdictional coordination is facilitated.
An Architecture database has been created using Turbo Architecture version 4.0 for the DRCOG ITS Architecture, and an Architecture database has been created using Turbo Architecture version 3.1, which is scheduled to be updated to version 4.0 in the near future, for the Southeastern Colorado Architecture.
Turbo Architecture is a software tool that allows users to catalogue and organize project and/or regional architectures in a database format. The software also provides users with enhanced functionality in working with architecture stakeholders, elements, market packages, operational concepts, functional requirements, interfaces, standards and agreements. The software defines the architecture, relationships and interconnects between stakeholders and elements and gives the user the ability to access physical and logical diagrams at multiple levels. Use of the software will facilitate consistency, version control, maintenance and subsequent updating of the Regional Architecture. It will also be useful in obtaining and providing project Architecture related information as is required by, and in order to comply with, the Federal systems engineering analysis.

In order to meet the requirements of 23 CFR Part 940 to receive federal funding, an ITS project must demonstrate that a systems engineering analysis was performed during the design of the project. The systems engineering analysis process includes the following seven elements that must to be addressed to ensure a project conforms to the federal ITS requirements:
1. Description of how project fits into the Regional ITS Architecture
2. Roles and responsibilities of participating agencies
3. Requirements definition
4. Analysis of alternative system configurations and technology options
5. Procurement options
6. Applicable ITS standards and testing procedures
7. Procedures and resources necessary for operations and management of the system
CDOT and DRCOG are developing Systems Engineering Analysis (SEA) Guidelines that will describe the method of demonstrating compliance with the federal ITS requirements. The requirement for SEA only applies to those ITS projects that have federal funding, however CDOT and DRCOG believe that there is value in requiring all ITS projects to use the SEA in order to ensure architectural consistency and integrity. In lieu of the SEA Guidelines, and until they are finalized, a common approach to ensuring SEA compliance is to have the project sponsor “self-certify” that they will comply with the ITS requirements. In this way, the project sponsor is taking responsibility for meeting the federal ITS requirements for their project. An official that could commit the organization to compliance (i.e., Public Works Director, Transportation Director) would be required to authorize the certification. The self-certification would take place at two points in the project development cycle:
Planning: At the planning level, the project sponsor would provide a short description of how their ITS project would fit into the Regional ITS Architecture and agree to conduct a systems engineering analysis for the project during the design phase. If the project were not currently addressed in the Regional ITS Architecture, it would be addressed as an incremental change as described in the Architecture Maintenance Process in the DRCOG ITS Architecture.
Design (Prior to Construction): Many of the details about the ITS elements of a project are developed in greater detail during the design phase. Providing in-depth details about the project’s compliance with the new federal ITS requirements is most appropriate during the design phase, prior to construction. The project sponsor would, again, “self-certify” that the systems engineering analysis was completed and provide information on the final project ITS Architecture and its relationship with the Regional ITS Architecture for the purpose of maintaining the Regional ITS Architecture.
Again, the Turbo Architecture databases will be very useful in obtaining and providing much of the project Architecture related information required above in order to comply with the systems engineering analysis. FHWA or FTA may independently request additional documentation on the systems engineering analysis before funds are released for construction.

II. Region 1 Corridor Analysis
The following section describes the various corridors in Region 1. Although not all corridors currently have ITS projects identified, all corridors of significance in Region 1 have been included in this plan to facilitate the management of ITS projects on these corridors in the future.
Transportation professionals across the country are utilizing a corridor approach to manage the public transportation network. A corridor management approach enables a comprehensive analysis of the network’s existing infrastructure (capacity), transportation needs (demand), functionality, and operational characteristics. During a Region 1 corridor analysis, CDOT and other stakeholders identified a total of 27 primary corridors of significance (Interstate Highways, statewide significant, regional significant and other regional corridors) for Region 1. These corridors were selected based upon their high level of importance in supporting the commercial and personal surface transportation needs within Region 1. The corridors are categorized and prioritized within their respective corridors of significance area below, and are displayed on the map in Figure 3 and grouped in Table 2. Appendix A provides high-level costs and general locations for ITS deployment on each of the corridors.

V. Conclusion
This Region 1 ITS Strategic Implementation Plan is a consolidation of all planned/desired ITS projects for Region 1 derived from the various previous ITS planning documents. The objective of this plan is to provide a single resource that Region 1 staff can utilize to effectively manage the implementation of the ITS program in Region 1. This plan should be referenced not only during the planning, programming, design, and construction of ITS projects, but also during the planning stages of non-ITS related projects on the 27 corridors of significance to avoid potential project conflicts and to leverage design and construction resources where possible.

Appendix B.
ITS Transportation Service Areas Transportation Service Areas are major operational areas that were developed for the purpose of providing ITS services in coordination with ITS applications (project) necessary to provide the specific service. Based on analysis of the major needs in the DRCOG Region, and in conjunction with the update of the DRCOG ITS Strategic Plan/Architecture, including discussions with stakeholders, and review of other transportation and ITS plans, nine ITS Transportation Service Areas were developed to address regional issues and needs.
11.. Regional Traveler Information – Regional traveler information involves a variety of
systems that collect and process transportation data then distribute the information to the public. It includes such information as: traffic conditions, travel times, incident locations, construction closures, weather condition, transit operations, and alternative travel options (e.g. DRCOG’s RideArrangers). The regional vision is to consolidate access to all traveler information sources through CDOT’s traveler information system consisting of the 511 phone system and the CoTrip.org website. This information will also be available for redistribution through other means such as traveler information kiosks, personalized e-mail or text messaging, mobile access, third party traveler information, etc.
22.. Regional Transportation Operations & Management – Regional transportation management provides coordinated transportation monitoring, response, and control functions. Regional partners will collect local data and control their local transportation systems while sharing the data through a display system that offers a regional view of traffic operations (e.g. website). This view will give transportation managers the opportunity to cooperate and respond quickly with management strategies that benefit regional travelers.
33.. Regional Traffic Incident Management – Traffic incident management requires coordination between transportation managers as well as the cooperation of the public safety community. Currently, they have cooperated in the development and use of corridor-level incident management plans (IMPs), but one regional-level incident management plan is envisioned for the future. This plan will have the transportation managers using ITS devices to detect and verify incidents and will disseminate traveler information regarding the incident. Public safety personnel will be responsible for incident site management and incident clearance while coordinating with transportation managers.
44.. Transit Operations & Management – Specific coordination between transit operations and other transportation managers is key to the regional traveler information and the regional transportation operations service areas above. ITS investment in transit operations is intended to improve the operational efficiency and public attractiveness of transit.
55.. Maintenance and Construction – ITS activities will include: coordination in planning and notification for maintenance and construction activity; roadway maintenance systems that are supported by weather data collection; and, the capability to monitor ITS devices from remote locations, thus allowing quick and managed dispatch for repair.
Region 1 ITS Strategic Implementation Plan Colorado Department of Transportation
B-2
66.. Regional Parking Management – ITS parking management strategies include pricing mechanisms and the distribution of real-time information regarding the availability of parking.
