Document Moved - Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office

The Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office (ITS JPO) is a key component of the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) efforts to advance the use of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in transportation. ITS is a technology-based approach that uses data, communication, and information technologies to manage and optimize traffic flow, reduce congestion, and improve safety.

Mission

The mission of the ITS JPO is to promote the development and implementation of ITS across the United States. This includes providing technical assistance, conducting research, and developing standards and guidelines for ITS use in transportation.

Risk Assessment and Standardization

The ITS JPO conducts risk assessments to identify potential hazards and challenges associated with ITS deployment. These assessments inform standard development and provide guidance for implementing ITS technologies and practices across the transportation sector.

Research Areas

Some of the research areas that the ITS JPO is exploring include:

• ITS technology innovation, including advanced signal control, intelligent transportation systems, and autonomous vehicles
• ITS applications in real-time data analytics, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, and smart traffic management
• ITS infrastructure development, including smart roads, intelligent intersections, and optimized road design

Initiatives

The ITS JPO also supports a range of initiatives aimed at advancing the use of ITS in transportation. These include:

• Sponsored research projects and pilot studies to demonstrate successful implementations of ITS technologies
• Technical assistance and guidance for integrating ITS into existing transportation systems
• Tripartite partnerships with industry, academia, and government agencies to advance ITS innovation and deployment
