The intended activities of the project are to: (1) Conduct comprehensive review of the existing ITS system architecture and implementation in New Jersey; (2) Document the best practices in ITS system architecture practices in the country; (3) Identify gaps in New Jersey compared to these best practices; (4) Develop a preliminary system architecture for New Jersey that supports autonomous vehicle technologies; and (5) Identify critical infrastructure barriers and challenges in New Jersey to implementation. The research outcome will lead to preliminary design plan of a test bed, a simulation model demonstrating scale up, and a preliminary system architecture.
