Using the Architecture

This section will help guide you through the Regional ITS Architecture website to find the information you want.

Searching by Elements

An element is the basic building block of the Architecture, and is used by stakeholders to describe a system or piece of a system.  If you know your element's name, click on "Elements" on the left side of the page.  This will take you to an alphabetical listing of all elements.  Choose yours and go to the element's homepage, from which you can find a link to a PDF file with detailed information about the element's information flows to other elements.

Searching by Stakeholders

A stakeholder is a public agency, private organization, or the traveling public with a vested interest in the transportation elements of the Architecture.  If you know the name of your stakeholder, you may click on "Stakeholders" on the left side of the page, and select yours from the alphabetical list.  Then choose the appropriate element, which takes you to the element's homepage and links to a PDF file with more detailed information.

Searching by Subsystem

Subsystems are the basic structural elements of the Architecture.  They are grouped by transportation category, and encompass several elements each.  Click on the "Regional Subsystem Interconnect Diagram" to the left.  Then click on your subsystem in the diagram.  This will display the subsystem's page, and will include a listing of elements within that subsystem.  Choose your element, which takes you to the element's homepage and links to a PDF file with more detailed information.
