![]() 1301-2.1 Exempt ProjectĮxempt projects are those that are typically comprised of commercially off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment with no integration of separate systems. Consult with the Office of Roadway Engineering if unsure of the proper category for an ITS project. For example, a project that would normally be considered Low-risk in Table 1397-1 could be classified as a High-risk ITS project based on its complexity or scale. Projects with a very large scale or degree of complexity could be an overriding consideration to the project examples shown in Table 1397-1. A differentiating factor in the determination of an ITS category, at the judgement of ODOT, can be the scale and complexity of the project. ODOT uses a risk-based Systems Engineering Analysis approach to classify ITS projects into three categories: Exempt, Low-Risk or High-Risk ITS projects.įor examples of Exempt, Low-Risk and High-Risk projects see Table 1397-1. In accordance with 23 CFR 940.3, an ITS project is “any project that in whole or in part funds the acquisition of technologies or systems of technologies that provide or significantly contribute to the provision of one or more ITS user services as defined in the National ITS Architecture” and summarized in Table 1397-2, under the following categories: For larger projects, the SEA should be performed at the same time as the feasibility study. The SEA should be completed and approved prior to stage 2 plans for projects that don’t have a feasibility study (typically path 2 and sometimes path 3 projects). Systems Engineering Analysis (SEA) is a planning document for both low-risk and high-risk ITS projects. This approach will permit ODOT and FHWA to establish concurrence in the level of ITS assessment and documentation needed.Īt its core, 23 CFR 940 defines what is considered an ITS project and then requires ITS projects to be in compliance with the governing ITS architecture and for the project to be developed using a Systems Engineering Analysis (SEA) process. ODOT’s interpretation of the Federal policy provides a streamlined process to address project definitions, ITS architecture modifications, and systems engineering. The Ohio procedures incorporate guidance from several sources, including 23 CFR 940, the Programmatic Agreement for ITS Systems Engineering Analysis between the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Ohio Division Offices and ODOT and the Federal-Aid Highway Program Stewardship and Oversight Agreement. These requirements apply to the ITS components. The Ohio Procedures for Implementing ITS Regulations (23 CFR 940) documents the requirements to be used in Ohio for any ITS project utilizing Federal funds. ![]() 1301 23 CFR 940 COMPLIANCE 1301-1 General 1301-1.1 Generalįederal Regulation 23 CFR 940 requires ITS projects and traditional projects with ITS components funded through the highway trust fund to conform to the National ITS Architecture and applicable standards. Failure to obtain approval when required will result in the project being withheld from sale until the required approvals are given. Submissions related to 23 CFR 940 approval shall be submitted to the Office of Roadway Engineering. related to Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), which in this context means electronics, communications, or information processing used singly or in combination to improve the efficiency or safety of a surface transportation system. This Part of the TEM addresses policies, guidelines, standard procedures, etc.
