<strong>Indianapolis</strong> <strong>ITS</strong> Architecture Stakeholder Workshop<br />
Welcome and Introductions<br />
<strong>Indianapolis</strong> MPO Project Manager Sweson Yang welcomed the attendees and thanked them<br />
for their participation. He emphasized that the <strong>Indianapolis</strong> <strong>Metropolitan</strong> <strong>Planning</strong> <strong>Organization</strong><br />
(MPO) should serve as a forum to discuss common transportation issues between agencies and<br />
highlighted intelligent transportation systems (<strong>ITS</strong>) as a tool that all transportation stakeholders<br />
in the region can use to address the challenges they face.<br />
Overview of <strong>ITS</strong>, the Architecture Process, and the Statewide <strong>ITS</strong> Architecture<br />
Dave Henkel of Edwards and Kelcey (EK) led introductions around the room and went through<br />
the agenda. Gary Rylander (EK) followed with an overview of <strong>ITS</strong> and a discussion of the<br />
reasons for developing an <strong>ITS</strong> architecture. Meggan Simpson of the Indiana Department of<br />
Transportation (INDOT) <strong>ITS</strong> Program Office provided an update on the Indiana Statewide <strong>ITS</strong><br />
Architecture. Ms. Simpson noted that the Statewide Architecture would address broader,<br />
statewide transportation elements and services, including commercial vehicle operations.<br />
Dennis Lee of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) described current parallel <strong>ITS</strong><br />
architecture efforts in other metropolitan areas of Indiana.<br />
Matt Letourneau (EK) led the participants through the day’s tasks, which are based on the<br />
FHWA’s six-step process for developing a regional <strong>ITS</strong> architecture:<br />
• Step #1 – Get Started (identify need, define region, identify stakeholders, identify<br />
champions)<br />
• Step #2 – Gather Data (inventory systems, determine needs and services, develop<br />
operational concept, define functional requirements)<br />
• Step #3 – Define Interfaces (identify interconnects, define information flows)<br />
