SYSTEM INTEGRATION ISSUES
Philip J Tarnoff · Transportation research circular · 1997
This symposium presentation focuses on system integration issues which are important for the future deployment of Integrated Transportation Management Systems (ITMS) and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). System integration is the process of combining software elements, hardware elements, or both into an overall system. As such, system integration activities must be part of the ITMS development process from the very beginning. System integration is extremely important given the complex systems that are being developed in ITS. Since ITMS involves public safety, the reliability of the systems is critical.
