Like standards development, many other aspects of ITS
development and deployment will involve new and complex
coordination issues. The technologies for many ITS applications
have already been developed, but a variety of nontechnical issues
will determine how and when these applications become widely
available. Liability, intellectual property, security, privacy, and
data ownership issues will all influence the commitment of private
firms to deploying ITS services and the interest of users in
adopting them.
Those in government and in industry responsible for planning and
coordinating ITS developments recognize that some of the
communications systems, such as those supporting traffic flow
control and addressing emergency situations, will require
real-time, quick response capability with high reliability. Such
systems will probably have to be dedicated to ITS applications. At
the other extreme, trip planning and many other offline
applications can surely be supported by the nation's general
purpose data networks—the NII. It is unclear, however, where
the boundaries lie and what combination of architecture, commercial
strategies, public services, and regulatory constraints will serve
to define this relationship. In short, is the ITS a domain-specific
application of the NII? Or is ITS a special environment whose
information systems support is specialized and only loosely
coupled, through data sharing, with the NII?
Intelligent Transportation

The mission of the ITS program is to improve the safety,
efficiency, and capacity of the country's surface transportation
system through the use of information technology. The ITS program
is coordinated within DOT,
