ONE-ITS: A platform for Online Network-Enabled Intelligent Transportation Systems

Abstract

ONE-ITS is an ICT platform that creates an unprecedented multi-disciplinary research cluster in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). ONE-ITS is a cost effective approach to creating a national critical mass that will transform ITS stakeholders into a unified premier virtual centre for ITS research worldwide. ONE-ITS will lay the foundation for an increased level of cooperation among ITS stakeholders to include business process synchronization, knowledge sharing, and support for a community of practice among human actors. ONE-ITS stakeholders include researchers; decision making government agencies; local operators; vehicle manufacturers; service providers of traveler-information; media outlets; and police, fire, and emergency services, as well as individual travelers. ONE-ITS is seen by Transport Canada as fully consistent with its strategic national direction of “En Route to Intelligent Mobility” that promotes stakeholder participation and ITS technology integration.
