1. Introduction The Buffalo-Niagara Bi-National Regional Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Architecture is a roadmap for transportation systems integration in the Buffalo-Niagara region over the next 20 years. The architecture has been developed through a cooperative effort by the region’s transportation agencies, covering all modes and all roads in the region. The architecture represents a shared vision of how each agency’s systems will work together in the future, sharing information and resources to provide a safer, more efficient, and more effective transportation system for travelers in the region. The architecture is an important new tool that will be used by: • Operating Agencies to recognize and plan for transportation integration opportunities in the region. • Planning Agencies to better reflect integration opportunities and operational needs into the transportation planning process. • Other organizations and individuals that use the transportation system in the region.
The architecture provides an overarching framework that spans all of these organizations and individual transportation projects. Using the architecture, each transportation project can be viewed as an element of the overall transportation system, providing visibility into the relationship between individual transportation projects and ways to cost-effectively build an integrated transportation system over time.
1.1. Document Overview This document is organized into ten main sections. Section 1 provides introductory information. Section 2 describes the process used to develop the regional ITS architecture. The stakeholders are identified in Section 3, while their systems are inventoried in Section 4. The transportation services, information exchanges, functional requirements, and standards associated with the systems are discussed in Sections 5, 6, 7, and 8, respectively. Section 9 describes regional projects and sequencing, while Section 10 discusses the agreements needed between stakeholders to maximize system benefits. In addition to this document, there are two additional documents. One of the documents provides guidance in using the regional ITS architecture (The Use Plan), while the second document summarizes how the regional ITS architecture is to be maintained (The Maintenance Plan).
1.2. Scope of the Architecture The geographic scope of the architecture includes both portions of the United States and Canada. In the USA, it covers the region bound by the Buffalo MPO, which includes Erie and Niagara Counties, plus a slight augmentation with Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Counties. In Canada, the region includes Region Niagara in Ontario. In addition to being a self-standing regional architecture, the elements within the Buffalo-Niagara Bi-National may also be found in or have interfaces with the following adjacent or overlapping statewide or regional architectures: • Albany, NY Regional ITS Architecture • New York Statewide Architecture (when developed).
Page 1 Buffalo-Niagara Bi-National Regional ITS Architecture Final Report
The timeframe considered is a 20-year outlook for ITS activities in the region. This means that the architecture addresses existing ITS systems as well as those planned for development over the next 20 years. It represents a snapshot of the currently anticipated projects based on information from stakeholders. As such, the architecture will require regular updates to ensure that it maintains accurate representation of the region as the region’s ITS needs change. The architecture covers services across a broad range of ITS, including traffic management, transit management, traveler information, emergency services, archived data management, maintenance and construction operations, commercial vehicle operations, and international border crossings.

2. Regional ITS Architecture Development Process
2.1. Process used to create the architecture Development of the Buffalo-Niagara Bi-National Regional ITS Architecture relied heavily on stakeholder input, and a previously developed Buffalo Regional ITS Architecture, to ensure that the ITS architecture reflected the latest vision of local and regional needs and plans. A five-step process was used to develop the ITS architecture: 1) create an initial draft inventory of architecture elements and a draft set of customized ITS Services to be provided, 2) conduct stakeholder outreach through a series of workshops, 3) create a complete draft ITS architecture for review, 4) conduct stakeholder review of the draft ITS architecture, and 5) finalize the ITS architecture based on review comments, additional stakeholder input, and recent development efforts of a joint US/Canada Border Information Flow Architecture.
2.1.1. Create Initial Inventory and Services The initial draft set of ITS elements, services and interconnections was created based upon a previous architecture development effort (completed in 2000) and a review of existing documentation regarding the Buffalo-Niagara region’s projects and systems. The Buffalo-Niagara regional architecture elements identified by the previous version of the Buffalo Regional ITS Architecture were revised to better describe the current legacy systems in the region. In addition, their mappings to the National ITS Architecture entities (subsystems and terminators) were reviewed and, in most cases, revised to reflect the Version 5 of the National ITS Architecture and the latest architecture development practices. Additional ITS elements identified by this process, and by a thorough review of the existing transportation plans (noted as sources in Section 9), were also reviewed and mapped to National ITS Architecture Version 5 entities. These two processes created an initial inventory of regional elements mapped to the National ITS Architecture Version 5. An existing Turbo Architecture database (the software tool used to create the initial Buffalo Regional ITS Architecture) was converted to the most recent version of the same tool so as to reflect the changes of the National ITS Architecture Version 5. This database was revised to reflect the changes in definitions and mappings of existing regional elements as well as incorporating new elements and definitions (and their mapping to National ITS Architecture entities). This effort created the initial Buffalo-Niagara Bi-National Regional ITS Architecture Turbo database. The existing and planned ITS projects (from the Long Range Transportation Plan) were used to establish an initial list of services that the elements of the architecture would provide. The initial set of Market Package diagrams were take from the Buffalo Regional ITS Architecture developed in 2000. For each existing or future service expected in the region, the market package diagram for that service from the National ITS Architecture was edited so that each National ITS Architecture subsystem or terminator was associated with the local stakeholder element name. In some cases, multiple instances of the market package were developed, where the service has more than one instance in the region. In addition, the existing market packages were revised as necessary to reflect the current state of deployment of ITS systems within the region, and any changes to the market packages based on Version 5 of the National ITS Architecture. This new set of customized market packages, using the existing and draft elements, was presented to the group of stakeholders during the regional ITS architecture outreach workshops.

2.1.2. Stakeholder Outreach Workshop #1 The first stakeholder outreach workshop was held on April 19-20, 2005. It as attended by an array of stakeholders who represented many aspects of surface transportation in the region. A key overall objective of the workshop was that the resultant Regional ITS Architecture should be a consensus architecture, that is, each of the participants understands and agrees to the ITS elements and specific information exchanges between the ITS elements identified in the architecture that they participated in defining. (This is not to say that the resulting ITS Architecture has credible funding identified that would lead to full deployment. The ITS architecture only identifies ITS elements and interfaces that the stakeholders agree to. Existing funding processes will continue to be used to decide how to allocate limited resources to which ITS elements and interfaces for deployment.) The workshop also incorporated a short training component that covered aspects of the National ITS Architecture and the regional ITS architecture development process so that stakeholders would understand the process better and be more willing participants. The morning of the first day of the workshop focused on architecture training/overview and a general refinement of the draft inventory, with each participant’s ITS elements being discussed and clarified. In the afternoon of the first day, the discussion turned to ITS services. Using the National ITS Architecture Market Packages to define ITS services, a set of customized market packages were reviewed with the stakeholders to identify which elements are associated with each market package (or transportation service), and to identify the interconnections associated with the market packages. This effort continued through the second day of the workshop.
2.1.3. Create a Draft Architecture for Review Following the initial stakeholder workshop, a revised draft architecture was created. Using the customized market package diagrams (as modified during the workshop), the Turbo Architecture database was completed to create a many aspects of the draft ITS architecture. This involved the following activities: • Updating the ITS inventory • Revising the customized market packages • Creating a Turbo Architecture database that represents the sum of all of the customized market packages.
In addition to creating the Turbo Architecture database and the customized set of market packages a high level Architecture Interconnect Diagram (AID, also known as a Sausage Diagram) of all the elements in the ITS architecture was created. Also developed was a hypertext version of the complete Turbo Architecture database placed on a generally accessible website (www.consystec.com). This website described each ITS element of the ITS architecture and all of its interconnections with other elements within the architecture. The website was developed using additional software tools that go beyond the basic Turbo Architecture software. Stakeholders were notified by email that a review period had commenced, and feedback was solicited. Stakeholders were encouraged to review the regional ITS architecture on the website, and were encouraged to provide feedback electronically from the website. Comments that were generated from this point forward in the process were maintained in a database. These stakeholders’ comments and their dispositions are summarized in Appendix A.

2.1.4. Stakeholder Outreach Workshop #2 The second stakeholder outreach workshop was held on June 15-16, 2005. It was also attended by an array of stakeholders who represented many aspects of surface transportation in the region. The workshop began with a general review of the first stakeholder outreach workshop. That was followed up with a review and discussion of the comments as received through the ConSysTec website, or through discussions conducted during phone calls to stakeholders. There was also a brief discussion regarding market packages – specifically a review of a few market package diagrams/services that weren’t covered at the first outreach workshop. The remainder of the day was spent discussing projects that are ongoing or future planned projects. The morning of the second day was spent discussing the Use Plan (separate document) for the Buffalo-Niagara region. The rest of the time spent at the second outreach workshop was spent discussing and reviewing the Maintenance Plan (separate document) for the Buffalo-Niagara Bi-National Regional ITS Architecture. At the end of the second workshop, we were able to generate a better set of market package diagrams (ITS services) for the region, plus we understood the desire and intention to use and maintain the regional ITS architecture document and process.
2.1.5. Create a draft Use Plan and Maintenance Plan for review Following the second stakeholder outreach workshop, both a draft Use Plan and a Draft Maintenance Plan were created. The Use Plan was discussed at length during the second workshop, and there were few comments or suggestions on how to amend the procedures, or how to go about using the architecture (based on it being a new concept). The Maintenance Plan, on the other hand, was a different story. Using the input received during the second workshop, and suggestions from the architecture development team, the Maintenance Plan was constructed in such a manner so as to use an existing forum to guide future maintenance of the architecture. The procedure for maintenance, the responsible parties, and the timeliness of maintenance activities are outlined in this plan.
2.1.6. Stakeholder Outreach Workshop #3 The third stakeholder outreach workshop was held on July 14, 2005. It was also attended by an array of stakeholders who represented many aspects of surface transportation in the region. The third workshop began with a review of all comments received since the June 15-16, 2005, stakeholder meeting. It immediately went into a discussion about MTO project within the region so as to incorporate them into the final document (and ensure market package were created to represent them). The remaining time of the workshop was spent reviewing all of the concepts/highlights of the regional ITS architecture including the following: • Architecture Scope and Region Description • Stakeholder and Stakeholder Representative Identification • System Inventory • Needs and Architecture Services (Customized Market Packages) • Operational Concepts (Stakeholder Agency Roles and Responsibilities) • Functional Requirements (“shall statements” for key ITS elements) • Interfaces and Information Flows • Institutional Agreements: Existing and Required

• ITS Standards Identification • Deployment Priorities Summary • Use Plan Summary • Maintenance Plan Summary • Project Website demonstration • Turbo Architecture Database and Final Report Summary
2.1.7. Finalize the architecture based on comments and stakeholder input. Following the third stakeholder outreach workshop, the draft architecture was revised based on comments from the third workshop, additional comments generated by website review, and general revisions as noted by the architecture development team, and a new version of the website was generated. Additional architecture aspects such as functional requirements, project sequencing, and potential institutional agreements were developed as part of the final architecture development process. The information collected from all of the stakeholder workshops, review comments, and discussions with individual stakeholders have been compiled into this final report and appendices. In recognition of the requirements of the new Rule and Policy (as discussed in Section 2.2 of this document), and because regional stakeholders require a documented process on how to use the regional ITS architecture, a Use Plan was developed. The Use Plan is being provided as a separate document. In recognition of the dynamic nature of ITS activities (i.e. ITS elements and interfaces that at one time are designated future, and later become existing) and because stakeholder requirements in a region that drive an ITS architecture will evolve, a Maintenance Plan was developed to provide a systematic means of keeping the architecture updated. The Maintenance Plan is being provided as a separate document.
2.2. Requirements of the Final FHWA Rule and FTA Policy on Architecture The FHWA Final Rule (23CFR 940) and FTA Policy on Intelligent Transportation System Architecture and Standards, which took effect on April 8, 2001, defines a set of requirements that regional ITS architectures should meet. Table 1 shows how the requirements of the rule are met by the outputs developed for the Buffalo-Niagara Bi-National Regional ITS Architecture.

3. Identification of Stakeholders
3.1. Regional Stakeholders Stakeholder coordination and involvement is one of the key elements of the development of a regional ITS architecture. Because ITS often transcends traditional transportation infrastructure, it is important to consider a range of stakeholders beyond the traditional traffic, transit, and maintenance areas. In addition, it is important to consider stakeholders at a regional level or stakeholders in adjoining regions. The Buffalo-Niagara Bi-National Regional ITS architecture includes a wide range of stakeholders. Many of these stakeholders were present at the stakeholder workshop described in the previous section. The following list of agencies were represented and provided their inputs on the architecture: • Greater Buffalo Niagara Regional Transportation Council (GBNRTC - Buffalo MPO) • NYS Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) • Niagara International Transportation Technology Coalition (NITTEC) • NYS Thruway Authority (NYSTA) • Federal Highways (FHWA) • Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) • NY State Police • Canadian Border Services • Transport Canada • Ontario Ministry of Transportation
Table 2 identifies the stakeholders that own or operate elements within the Regional ITS Architecture.

4. Inventory Each stakeholder agency, company, or group owns, operates, maintains or plans ITS systems in the region. The Regional ITS Architecture inventory is a list of “elements” that represent all existing and planned ITS systems in a region as well as non-ITS systems that provide information to or get information from the ITS systems. The focus of the inventory is on those systems that support, or may support, interfaces that cross stakeholder boundaries (e.g., inter- agency interfaces, public/private interfaces). The vast majority of the inventory represents ITS systems in the region. An example of an element that exists and is within the region is the NITTEC Traffic Operations Center. The inventory also contains some elements that represent systems in adjoining regions. An example of an element in an adjoining region would be Other Regional Public Safety Communication and Dispatch Centers, which represents a regional PSAP or public safety dispatch point in an adjacent region. It would, however, interface with other emergency dispatch centers within the Buffalo-Niagara region so as to coordinate and emergency response. Each element in the inventory is described by a name, the associated stakeholder, a description, general status (e.g. existing or planned), and the associated subsystems or terminators from the National ITS Architecture Version 5.
4.1. Systems by Stakeholder Table 4 sorts the inventory by stakeholder so that each stakeholder can easily identify all the relevant elements that are defined in the regional architecture. For each element in the inventory, the table provides an element description and an indication of whether the element exists or is planned. Some elements in the regional architecture represent sets of devices, rather than a single specific system or device. An example of this type of element is the element “NYSDOT Field Equipment”. This element represents all of the ITS field equipment that is or will be owned and operated by either NYSDOT or a partner agency. The element describes a vast array of field devices, and does not represent a specific device, or a specific number of devices. A third type of element in the inventory is a “generic” element that represents all of the systems of a certain type in the region. An example of this type of element is “Local DPW Dispatch”, which represents the maintenance and construction dispatch function at the local level. These generic elements have been created for two primary reasons. First, they represent elements with similar types of interfaces, so from a standardization standpoint, describing how one of the major elements in the region (e.g. the NITTEC Traffic Operations Center) interfaces with various local DPW dispatch functions would be the same. Second, describing many systems with a single element helps keep the architecture from growing too large.

4.2. Systems by Architecture Entity Each element in the regional architecture inventory is mapped to one or more entities from the National ITS Architecture. In version 5.0 of the National ITS Architecture (on which this architecture is based) there are 95 entities defined. These 22 subsystems and 73 terminators describe a wide array of systems that provide ITS services, or interface with systems that provide ITS services. The mapping of regional ITS architecture elements to National ITS Architecture entities has two primary benefits. First, it allows the full set of information flows contained in the National ITS Architecture to be used in the description of regional ITS architecture interfaces. Second, it allows the elements of the regional ITS architecture to be grouped by like entity. Table 5 provides just such a sorting of inventory elements by entity. This table allows the users of the architecture to immediately identify all the elements that have functions relating to transit management, traffic management, or any other subsystem or terminator as described by the National ITS Architecture. The Buffalo-Niagara Bi-National Regional ITS Architecture inventory contains the following number of elements mapped to different types of entities: • Archived Data Management: 20 • Emergency Management: 34 • Information Service Providers: 28 • Maintenance and Construction Management: 21 • Traffic Management: 21 • Transit Management: 9

5. Market Packages The ITS systems in the region currently provide a wide array of transportation services. That list will grow as more systems are developed, upgraded, or deployed throughout the region. These ITS services can be described by the set of market packages that are shown in Table 6. This table provides the status for each market package (existing or planned) and the name of the MP instance service of the specific market package. Where the service is currently provided by some of the elements (but possibly not others) there is a mix of existing and planned status within a single market package. A service is considered to exist if some interfaces contained in the market packages are currently provided via data communications.

6. Interfaces and Information Exchanges
6.1. Top Level Regional System Interconnect Diagram A system interconnect diagram, or sausage diagram, shows the systems and primary types of interconnections in the region. The National ITS Architecture interconnect diagram has been customized for the Buffalo-Niagara region based on the information gathered from the stakeholders and system inventory. Figure 1 on the following page summarizes the existing and planned ITS elements for the regions in the context of a physical interconnect. Elements (and their primary associated National ITS Architecture entity) are called out in the boxes surrounding the main interconnect diagram. In the center of the figure the rectangles represent the subsystems of the National ITS Architecture. The Buffalo-Niagara Bi-National Regional ITS Architecture has elements that map to all 22 of the subsystems of the National ITS Architecture. In addition, the regional ITS architecture has elements that map to 26 terminators of the National ITS Architecture (plus additional terminators utilized by the joint US and Canada Border Information Flow Architecture). These terminators are shown on the right side of the diagram and include entities such as Care Facilities (which map as Regional Hospitals). The diagram also identifies the three basic types of communications used to interconnect the elements of the architecture. These communications types are defined as: • Wireline Communications: A communications link serving stationary sources. It may be implemented using a variety of public or private communications networks that may physically include wireless (e.g., microwave) as well as wireline infrastructure. Both dedicated and shared communications resources may be used. • Wide Area Wireless Communications: A communications link that provides communications via a wireless device between a user and an infrastructure-based system. Both broadcast (one-way) and interactive (two-way) communications services are grouped into wide-area wireless communications. These links support a range of services including real-time traveler information and various forms of fleet communications. • Dedicated Short Range Communications: A wireless communications channel used for close-proximity communications between vehicles and the immediate infrastructure. It supports location-specific communications for ITS capabilities such as toll collection, transit vehicle management, driver information, and automated commercial vehicle operations.

6.2. Customized Market Packages The market packages of the National ITS Architecture were customized to reflect the unique systems and connections for the Buffalo-Niagara region. Each market package is shown graphically, with the market package name, the entity from the National ITS Architecture, and the specific Buffalo-Niagara elements associated with the entity. In addition the market packages show the information flows that move between elements.

Figure 3. Buffalo-Niagara Customized Market Package Diagram Figure 3 is an example of an ATMS market package for Surface Street Control that has been customized for the Buffalo-Niagara Region. This market package shows three subsystems, Maintenance and Construction Management, Traffic Management and Roadway, and the associated elements. Information flows (called “architecture flows” in the National ITS Architecture) between the subsystems indicate what information is being shared. The market packages that were customized for the Buffalo-Niagara region can be found on the “Buffalo- Niagara” web page by selecting the “Market Packages” button. Market packages are grouped by stakeholder and by functional areas (e.g. Traffic Management, Maintenance and Construction, and Public Transportation) and each set of customized market packages can be viewed by clicking on the Market Package Diagram icon under each area heading. It is

important to note that while the market package table on the web page shows all of the market packages from the National ITS Architecture, only those selected for the region are included in the diagrams. The selected market packages on the web page also are highlighted in the web page table with bold print and are indicated as existing or planned.
6.3. Regional Architecture Information Flows While it is important to identify the various systems and stakeholders as part of a regional ITS architecture, a primary purpose of the architecture is to identify the connectivity between transportation systems in the region. The interconnect diagram shown previously in Figure 1 showed the high level relationships of the elements in the region. The customized market packages represent services that can be deployed as an integrated capability, and the market package diagrams show the information flows between the subsystems and terminators that are most important to the operation of the market packages. How these systems interface with each other is an integral part of the overall architecture. There are 259 different elements identified as part of the Buffalo-Niagara Bi-National Regional ITS Architecture. These elements include municipal, state, and provincial traffic operations centers, transit centers, transit vehicles, public safety dispatch centers, media outlets, and others—essentially all of the existing and planned physical components that contribute to the region’s intelligent transportation system. Interfaces have been defined for each element in the architecture. For example, the NITTEC Traffic Operations Center has planned interfaces with 49 other elements in the region ranging from field equipment to transit centers. Some of the interfaces are far less complex. For example the NYS Police Dispatch has interfaces with only four other elements in the architecture. Elements and their interfaces are accessible via the Buffalo-Niagara Bi-National Regional ITS Architecture web page by clicking on the “Inventory by Stakeholder” button. Selecting an element from the right hand column takes you to an element detail page that shows each interface to the element in the architecture. Architecture flows between the elements define specific information that is exchanged by the elements. Each architecture flow has a direction, name and definition. Most of the architecture flows match ones from the National ITS Architecture (the mapping of elements to National ITS Architecture entities allowed the developers to match the architecture flows to the appropriate interfaces). In some cases new user defined flows have been created for interfaces or connectivities that are not expressed in the National ITS Architecture (Note these flows have a “_ud” at the end of the name to indicate they are user defined.). These architecture flows define the interface requirements between the various elements in the regional architecture and, more specifically, they define the information being shared between elements. An example of the architecture flows between two elements is shown in . In this interface, the flows that go between the NITTEC Traffic Operations Center and the NYSDOT Statewide IEN – Data Distribution network are shown. This figure shows that although both of these elements exist, they only currently share traffic information (shown by the “E”). Other information, including traffic images and road network conditions are shown as planned (P). Each of the individual element interfaces can be accessed on the Buffalo-Niagara Bi-National Regional ITS Architecture web page by clicking on the “Inventory by Stakeholder” or “Inventory by Entity” buttons. Selecting any of the elements from the column on the right will display the set of interfaces to that element similar to the diagram shown in
Version 1.00 Page 92 Buffalo-Niagara Bi-National Regional ITS Architecture Final Report
. Selecting any of the architecture flows will provide a definition, and any standards associated with that architecture flow are noted.

7. Functional Requirements Functional requirements are a description of the functions or activities that are currently performed by the ITS elements or that are planned to be performed in the future. For the Buffalo-Niagara Bi-National Regional ITS Architecture, these functions have been developed by using the functional assignments underlying the National ITS Architecture and the mapping from transportation services to elements shown in Table 6. Regional Market Packages. In the National ITS Architecture, a market package is defined by subsystems, equipment packages, and architecture flows, all of which operate together to perform a particular transportation service. Equipment Packages represent pieces of a subsystem that perform a single function. (NOTE: there are no equipment packages defined for the Terminators of the National ITS Architecture, since they represent systems on the boundary of the architecture and do not have functional descriptions within the architecture.) For example the Surface Street Control market package is composed of the two Traffic Management Subsystem equipment packages (TMC Signal Control and Traffic Maintenance) and two Roadway Subsystem equipment packages (Roadway Signal Control and Roadway Equipment Coordination). The definitions of these four equipment packages, copied from version 5.0 of the National ITS Architecture are: • TMC Signal Control - This equipment package provides the capability for traffic managers to monitor and manage the traffic flow at signalized intersections. This capability includes analyzing and reducing the collected data from traffic surveillance equipment and developing and implementing control plans for signalized intersections. Control plans may be developed and implemented that coordinate signals at many intersections under the domain of a single traffic management subsystem. In advanced implementations, this package collects route planning information and integrates and uses this information in predicting future traffic conditions and optimizing the traffic control strategy for these conditions. These capabilities are achieved through real-time communication of logged routes from an Information Service Provider. The planned control strategies can be passed back to the Information Service Provider so that the intended strategies can be reflected in future route planning. • Traffic Maintenance - This equipment package provides monitoring and remote diagnostics of field equipment to detect field equipment failures, issues problem reports, and tracks the repair or replacement of the failed equipment. • Roadway Signal Controls - This equipment package provides the capabilities to control traffic signals at major intersections and on main highways for urban areas. This equipment package is generally constrained to a single jurisdiction. • Roadway Equipment Coordination - This equipment package coordinates field equipment that is distributed along the roadway by supporting direct communications between field equipment. This includes coordination between remote sensors and field devices (e.g., Dynamic Message Signs) and coordination between the field devices themselves (e.g., coordination between traffic controllers that are controlling adjacent intersections.).
The approach used in the Buffalo-Niagara Bi-National Regional ITS Architecture began with the mapping of equipment packages to elements (based on the market package mapping in Table
Version 1.00 Page 94 Buffalo-Niagara Bi-National Regional ITS Architecture Final Report
6) as an initial definition of the functions being performed by each element. Then this mapping was tailored in the Turbo Architecture tool to provide a more accurate picture of the functions performed by the element. The Turbo Architecture tool also contains a detailed mapping of functional requirements (written as “shall” statements) to each equipment package. This mapping to functional requirements has been customized for each element, selecting only those requirements that are appropriate given the definition and connectivity of the element. In some cases the functional requirement has been customized to better reflect the functions of the element. This detailed mapping of functional requirements to elements is contained in the Turbo Architecture database and is provided in tabular form in Appendix B (which due to its length is contained in a separate document). The mapping of elements to the basic functions (equipment packages) is provided on the hyperlinked web site version of the architecture. The detail page for each element (which is accessed through the Inventory by Stakeholder or Inventory by Entity tabs) has a list of the equipment packages assigned to the element. For example, the Local Traffic Signal Control Systems element has the following equipment packages assigned to it: • Collect Traffic Surveillance • HRI Traffic Management • Rail Operations Coordination • TMC Evacuation Support • TMC Incident Detection • TMC Incident Dispatch Coordination/Communication • TMC Multimodal Coordination • TMC Regional Traffic Control • TMC Signal Control • TMC Workzone Traffic Management • Traffic Data Collection • Traffic Maintenance
This represents a first level of detail that can be obtained in the hyperlinked web site in connection with functionality. As previously mentioned in this report, an additional level of detailed functional requirements is contained in a separate document as Appendix B.

8. Standards
8.1. Standards Related to the Buffalo-Niagara Region This section focuses on the applicable ITS standards for the Buffalo-Niagara Bi-National ITS Architecture. The architecture defines the functions (e.g., gather traffic information or request a route) that must be performed to implement transportation services, the systems where these functions reside (e.g., the roadside or the vehicle), the interfaces/information exchanges between systems, and the communication requirements for the moving of information from one system to another, whether wireline or wireless. One objective of the Buffalo-Niagara Bi-National ITS Architecture is to identify applicable ITS interface standards. This objective supports the broader and related ITS objectives of achieving interoperability between ITS deployments and reducing the cost of ITS deployments. ITS communications standards provide a common way to implement many of the interfaces defined in the Buffalo-Niagara Bi-National ITS Architecture, including: • Center to Center • Center to Field • Center to Vehicle • Center to Traveler Support
ITS standards establish a common way in which devices connect and communicate with one another. In addition, standards specify how to do things consistently. They are national or regional industry-consensus standards that define how ITS system components operate. This allows transportation agencies to implement systems that cost-effectively exchange pertinent data and accommodate equipment replacement, system upgrades, and system expansion. Standards benefit the traveling public by providing products that will function consistently and reliably throughout the region. ITS standards contribute to a safer and more efficient transportation system, facilitate regional interoperability, and promote an innovative and competitive market for transportation products and services. Take an example of using an ITS standard for center-to-center communications between traffic management centers to share pertinent traffic information between them. If all traffic management centers use the same ITS standard, deploying and maintaining center-to-center communications will be cost-effective because of efficiencies in using and needing to support only one standard at each center. However, if each center was to use a non-standard communications protocol, each different protocol would have to be deployed and supported by each traffic management center, requiring more (software) development, hardware, and support costs. Use of ITS standards is very important to project development in the Buffalo-Niagara region. Table 7 identifies the ITS standards that are potentially applicable to the region. This table was created by taking the standards information available in the Turbo Architecture database (which identifies standards applicable to each architecture flow) and taking the total set of standards that result from all of the selected flows. The following section explains how to identify the specific applicable standards for an individual interface. The table lists the name of the standard in the first column and the Standards

Development Organization (SDO) and number of the standard in the second column. Regular updates of SDO activities will help ensure that the latest standards are utilized. The SDOs listed above include: • American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) • American National Standards Institute (ANSI) • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) • Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) • Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) • National Equipment Manufacturers Association (NEMA) • Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)

8.2. Application Based the interfaces defined for the architecture, the Buffalo-Niagara Bi-National ITS Architecture identifies the requirements for the ITS standards needed to support regional interoperability, as well as product standards needed to support economy of scale considerations in deployment. The result is a Buffalo-Niagara regional plan for transportation management system integration, from which technical ITS project specifications can be shaped.
8.2.1. Regional Selection of Standards The ITS architecture identifies those standards that may apply for the future design and deployment of ITS projects. While the objective of an ITS architecture is to document the current and future information sharing relationships between existing and planned ITS elements, the objective of the standards is to guide the specification and deployment of the external interfaces of identified architecture elements (i.e. the interfaces between specific centers, field equipment, vehicles and traveler equipment). The concept of interoperability between systems falls largely into two areas: Center-to-Center system interoperability and Center-to-Field system interoperability.
NTCIP C2C: NTCIP Center-to-Center Standards Group In general, center-to-center interoperability refers to interoperability between center-based systems, including both information and command-control exchanges. Table 7 specifies the NTCIP Center-to-Center (NTCIP C2C) Group of Standards, which address the communications protocols between two centers (e.g. two traffic management centers exchanging information to facilitate regional coordination of traffic signals). Some of the communication protocols covered by this family are CORBA, XML and FTP. These protocols are common across all Center-to- Center interfaces in the National ITS Architecture, and rather than repeat the entire list for each architecture flow, we have created this summary entry – the NTCIP C2C Group of communications standards. The standards that describe the “vocabulary” (data elements and messages) are mapped to specific architecture flows rather than the entire set of NTCIP C2C interfaces. In the regional traffic coordination example above, the “Traffic Management Data Dictionary” and the “Message Set for External TMC Communications” standards would be mapped to the specific flows between two Traffic Management Subsystems. In order to satisfy a wide spectrum of system and regional communications requirements, Center-to-Center ITS deployments should each implement the combinations of the following NTCIP C2C communications protocols that best meet their needs. This Group includes the following Standards Activities: • NTCIP 1102: Base Standard: Octet Encoding Rules (OER) • NTCIP 1104: CORBA Naming Convention • NTCIP 1105: CORBA Security Service • NTCIP 1106: CORBA Near-Real Time Data Service • NTCIP 2104: Subnet Profile for Ethernet • NTCIP 2202: Internet (TCP/IP and UDP/IP) Transport Profile • NTCIP 2303: Application Profile for File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
Version 1.00 Page 99 Buffalo-Niagara Bi-National Regional ITS Architecture Final Report
• NTCIP 2304: Application Profile for Data Exchange ASN.1 (DATEX) • NTCIP 2305: Application Profile for Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) • NTCIP 2306: Application Profile for XML in Center to Center Communications (AP- C2CXML) • NTCIP 2501: Information Profile for DATEX • NTCIP 2502: Information Profile for CORBA
Future implementations of Center-to-Center communications are expected to use XML application profile. NTCIP C2F: NTCIP Center-to-Field Standards Group Center-to-field interoperability involves interoperability not only of information exchanges, and command and control between center and field systems, but also interoperability between different manufacturers’ equipment, including electrical and mechanical specifications. Table 7 above specifies the NTCIP Center-to-Field Standards Group, which addresses the communications protocols between a center and the ITS field devices it manages. The family includes the communications profiles that cover the interfaces between a traffic management center and dynamic message signs, ramp meters, environmental sensors, or CCTVs under its control. These protocols are common across all Center-to-Field interfaces in the National ITS Architecture, and rather than repeat the entire list for each architecture flow, we have created this summary entry – the NTCIP C2F Group of communications standards. The “vocabulary” (objects) is specific to the actual architecture flow in the National ITS Architecture and is therefore mapped to the corresponding Data Object standard. For example, the “Object Definitions for Dynamic Message Signs” standard would be mapped to the specific control and data flows between the Traffic Management Subsystem and the Roadway DMS equipment). In order to satisfy a wide spectrum of system and regional communications requirements, Center-to-Field ITS deployments should each implement the combinations of the following NTCIP C2F communications protocols that best meet their needs. This Group includes the following Standards Activities: • NTCIP 1101: Simple Transportation Management Framework (STMF) • NTCIP 1102: Base Standard: Octet Encoding Rules (OER) • NTCIP 1103: Simple Transportation Management Protocol (STMP) • NTCIP 2101: Point to Multi-Point Protocol Using RS-232 Subnetwork Profile • NTCIP 2102: Subnet Profile for PMPP Over FSK modems • NTCIP 2103: Subnet Profile for Point-to-Point Protocol using RS 232 • NTCIP 2104: Subnet Profile for Ethernet • NTCIP 2201: Transportation Transport Profile • NTCIP 2202: Internet (TCP/IP and UDP/IP) Transport Profile

• NTCIP 2301: Application Profile for Simple Transportation Management Framework (STMF) • NTCIP 2302: Application Profile for Trivial File Transfer Protocol • NTCIP 2303: Application Profile for File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
8.2.2. Projects This section discusses how the list of ITS standards can be used in the development of an ITS project. A project extracted from the ITS architecture can be defined in terms of the transportation services it will provide, the ITS elements that are included in the project, and the interfaces between those ITS elements. For the Buffalo-Niagara Bi-National ITS Architecture, this may be one or more (or a part of) customized market package diagram(s). Based on the customized market package diagram(s), the relevant information exchanges (architecture flows) between ITS systems to be included in the ITS project can be derived. From the regional ITS architecture, analyzing these architecture flows will yield a list of ITS standards that may be applicable to the project. Note that ITS projects that are federally funded are required to use applicable ITS standards and interoperability tests that have been officially adopted by U.S. DOT. However, as of the date of this report, no ITS standard or interoperability test has been officially adopted. Although the regional ITS architecture provides a list of possible national standards that may be applicable, the individual projects must determine which standards to use, and how to specify those standards. The stakeholders in the region should convene to evaluate the interfaces between systems and the ITS standards identified in the ITS architecture. By evaluating interfaces rather than individual information flows, the amount of work required is reduced considerably. Thus, the next step is to perform an analysis to determine what aspects of the standards on the list support the user and functional requirements that have been defined for the ITS project. Rarely will an agency need all the functions and messages that an ITS standard supports, thus the project specifications should detail the required data objects (center-to-field) or messages (center-to-center) for a project. Conversely, there is also a possibility that an ITS standard does not support all the user and functional requirements that have been defined. Many of the ITS standards are still in development and only a handful of ITS standards can be considered mature at this time. By mature, it is meant that the standard has be deployed and tested by numerous agencies, and has industry-wide support. Although the standards development organizations attempt to support the most common user requirements and needs, it cannot always do so, or may satisfy those requirements and needs in a different manner. In this case, agency-specific objects or messages may be needed, and these requirements should be included in the specifications. Based on the analysis, the stakeholders should agree what standards, if any, should be adopted for each interface. It may also be necessary to consider any regional standards that have been adopted in use in the region or state. Common examples of regional standards in New York State include the E-ZPass IAG data formats and interfaces or the TRANSMIT data interfaces. The procuring agency (or agencies) would then finalize the relevant details for implementing the standard, taking into account specific technology and communications choices, to achieve interoperability.

8.3. Documentation
8.3.1. Turbo Architecture Documentation Turbo Architecture provides a means to add, edit, and delete candidate standards -- the default list of applicable ITS standards was generated from a mapping of the ITS architecture flows to the ITS standards, something which is supported by Turbo Architecture. A sample Turbo Architecture screen used to maintain the list of applicable ITS standards is shown in Figure 5 below.
Figure 5. Sample Applicable ITS Standards in Turbo Architecture
8.3.2. Web Site Documentation The previous section provides a general discussion of the standards environment in the region. However the architecture does contain a far more detailed standards view, one that maps applicable standards to the individual information flow that goes from one element to another. This detailed information is contained in the hyperlinked web site and can be accessed through the links to the architecture flows shown as part of each interface. Each element description page has a set of links that describe the information flowing to and from the element to other

9. Project Sequencing The incorporation of the Buffalo-Niagara Bi-National Regional ITS Architecture in the planning process will ultimately yield projects that are linked to the ITS Architecture. Through the deployment of projects produced from the planning process, the services supported in the ITS Architecture will be implemented and made a reality in the transportation system. Project implementation completes the evolution from transportation needs to services, to functional descriptions in the ITS Architecture, to project identification in the planning process, and to project definition and deployment. The overarching goal of the ITS Architecture development process is that this evolution takes place with the maximum amount of integration knowledge possible so as to efficiently and economically implement the systems required to serve the transportation community and users. Key to this process or evolution is to understand what dependencies or relationships exist between systems and projects so that an order can be identified for deployment. Given the importance of integration of ITS, the dependencies of one system on another or one project on another, it is critical to view the entire transportation system at a high, functional level. The ITS Architecture provides this view point and makes possible the understanding of the relationships between the ITS systems in the region. Project sequencing defines the order in which ITS projects should be implemented. A good sequence is based on a combination of transportation planning factors that are used to prioritize projects and the project dependencies that show how successive ITS projects can build on one another. In most cases, the first projects in the project sequence will already be programmed and will simply be extracted from existing transportation plans. Successive projects will then be added to the sequence based on the project dependencies and other planning factors. A majority of this process was accomplished through a review of the existing transportation planning documents and through a stakeholder outreach workshop held on June 15, 2005. At this workshop, a draft list of projects was presented and input from the stakeholders was incorporated into the material. During the workshop, comments were received from stakeholders regarding ITS project names, descriptions, timeframes, funding sources, responsible agencies, and programmed projects. Additional information (primarily for MTO) was gathered at the July 14, 2005, final review workshop. The results of the workshops, various stakeholder inputs during and after the workshops, and the project sequencing analysis are provided in Table 8. The information included in each of the project functional areas is: • ID. The ID number associated with this project. • Project Name and Location. The name and location of the proposed ITS project. • Source. The ITS related document or input from which the project was identified. • Description. The description of the project or services to be provided. • Costs (Thousands).

The recommended ITS project sequencing (Table 8 above) should be used as an input for the Long Range Transportation Plan of the state or MPO participating in the project and the Strategic/Long Range Plan for other planning organizations (as described in Section 3). The planning process allocates ITS projects funding in coordination with other transportation projects. As displayed in Table 8, projects are classified as short/medium/long-term timeframes. These projects should be represented in the Long Range Plans. As these sequenced projects go through the planning process, the ones identified as short-term would be transitioned in the TIP and Capital Plan/Budget. Since the table defines a short-term project as being deployed in 0-5 years and the TIP and Capital Plan/Budget defines a project as being deployed in 1-3 years, stakeholders are required to further examine the short-term projects and determine which should be represented in the TIP and Capital Plan/Budget. The key question stakeholders may ask is, “Now that we have a comprehensive list of ITS projects separated by timeframes, how do I use the projects? To answer this question, stakeholders should focus on the following concepts: • Why is this Important. Stakeholders should remember the reasons for going through the process of creating sequenced ITS projects. Ultimately they want to deploy projects that support the needs expressed in their ITS Architecture. • Who’s in Charge. Stakeholders should consider identifying a person or group that is responsible for managing how ITS Projects get deployed. This person or group would be aware of the big picture by familiarizing themselves with all of the planned activities and ensure integration opportunities are maximized in project deployments. • Systematic Process. Stakeholders should ensure that projects are managed in a systematic manner. • Funding Allocation. Stakeholders should ensure funding is allocated appropriately to support projects that have dependencies or synergies to be utilized. This is important if there are future projects that will depend on a short term or current project. The short term or current project must be funded appropriately to support the accommodation of known future project features or interfaces, thus avoiding redesign for future project accommodation. • Project List Management. Stakeholders should prioritize projects within their common timeframes based on the aforementioned concepts. It is important for short-term projects to be reviewed by stakeholders prior to being transitioned into the TIP. A person or group designated as a list manager should be responsible for removing projects from the regional list once implemented. Although project lists may reflect a single project, projects are typically broken into multiple phases and are implemented in an incremental manner. For example, many ITS projects are partially deployed as part of larger construction projects. A project’s scope might involve interfacing with ten agencies and funding constraints may require agencies to be interconnected one at a time. In this situation, a project might by implemented in five years, if two agencies are being interconnected per year. If a project is partially implemented due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g. limited funding received), then the list manager should update the project to reflect the remaining components that need to be implemented. The key point for project list management is projects will be implemented in an incremental manner, therefore the list manager should keep accurate records of the incremental process and meet with stakeholders to determine how funding should be reallocated.

• Desired Outcome. Stakeholders should remember the desired outcome which is to deploy projects to maximize integration opportunities throughout the state. Therefore, when projects are transitioned into the project development phase, stakeholders should always be aware of other project deployment activities (even if the other activities require a project to be deployed at a different time). This mindset will require stakeholders to be flexible in developing interfaces what will allow for future expansion based on overall regional needs.
An important issue to remember is when a project it to be implemented, stakeholders should convene to determine the specific details for deploying a project (e.g. how many phases will be required for this project and which components of market packages are allocated to a particular phase?). Table 8 should be used as a guide to which agencies/systems and interfaces should be considered during the discussion and design phase for project implementation.

10. Agreements There are several types of arrangements associated with the interfaces included with the projects discussed in section 9 above. Data exchanges between systems require agreements on the transmission protocol and data formats to ensure compatibility. Coordinating field device operations owned by different agencies requires defined procedures for submitting message requests and rules governing when such requests can be honored. Such coordination can be done with informal arrangements such as a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Sharing control of field devices operated by different agencies involves more liability issues, which requires more formal agreements. Coordinated incident response may also require formal agreements, but also requires group training of personnel from various agencies. While all interfaces involve agreements for data compatibility, agreements for procedure and operation as well as training can also be critical elements to optimizing the benefits of the architecture. Table 9 identifies types of potential agreements that could be used by agencies in the region.
Table 9. Types of Agreements Type of Agreement Description Handshake Agreement Early agreement between one or more partners Not recommended for long term operations. Memorandum of Initial agreement used to provide minimal detail and usually demonstrating a general Understanding consensus. Used to expand a more detailed agreement like an Interagency Agreement which may be broad in scope but contains all of the standard contract clauses required by a specific agency. May serve as a means to modify a much broader Master Funding Agreement, allowing the master agreement to cover various ITS projects throughout the region and the MOUs to specify the scope and differences between the projects. Interagency Agreement Between public agencies (e.g., transit authorities, cities, counties, etc.) for operations, services or funding Documents responsibility, functions and liability, at a minimum. Intergovernmental Between governmental agencies (e.g., Agreements between universities and State Agreement DOT, MPOs and State DOT, etc.) Operational Agreement Between any agency involved in funding, operating, maintaining or using the right-of- way of another public or private agency. Identifies respective responsibilities for all activities associated with shared systems being operated and/or maintained. Funding Agreement Documents the funding arrangements for ITS projects (and other projects) Includes at a minimum standard funding clauses, detailed scope, services to be performed, detailed project budgets, etc. Master Agreements Standard contract and/or legal verbiage for a specific agency and serving as a master agreement by which all business is done. These agreements can be found in the legal department of many public agencies. Allows states, cities, transit agencies, and other public agencies that do business with the same agencies over and over (e.g., cities and counties) to have one Master Agreement that uses smaller agreements (e.g., MOUs, Scope-of-Work and Budget Modifications, Funding Agreements, Project Agreements, etc.) to modify or expand the boundaries of the larger agreement to include more specific language.
In discussing existing agreements, the only ones identified were those regarding operation of traffic signals by NITTEC (and the NITTEC member agencies).

The Regional ITS Architecture can be used to determine a set of agreements that may need to be put into place in order to implement the interconnections described by the architecture.
B identifies agreements that may be needed between pairs of stakeholders described in the Buffalo-Niagara Bi-National Regional ITS Architecture. The table in the Appendix was created by identifying element interfaces where the elements are owned, operated, or maintained by different stakeholders. This large list of potential interfaces was then reviewed to remove many of the interfaces between different stakeholders of the same agency, and to remove interfaces that won’t need agreements (such as the interface between web sites and the private users that access them).
