6.3 Track 2: Integrate ITS
The projects identified in this section are intended to integrate existing
and future ITS computerized systems. These projects implement the ITS Architecture,
and enable the Tier 1 and 2 Membership Model. To optimize the ITS is currently
in place, the following five projects were identified:
10. Upgrade ARTIMIS to Support Integrated Architecture
11. Install ARTIMIS Workstations for Tier 1 Members
12. Install ARTIMIS Workstations for Tier 2 Members
13. 911 Computer Aided Dispatch Integration with ARTIMIS
14. Cincinnati 911 Cellular Call Answer System/Integration
Because these projects involve integrating computerized systems, they cannot
be illustrated using geographical maps. Systems proposed to be integrated
into ARTIMIS include 911 computer-aided dispatch; city, State and County traffic
signal systems; and transit automated vehicle location. The tables that follow
provide additional detail on the projects in Track 2.

Please see Table 6-3 for a complete list
of ITS needs. This project’s primary function will significantly address
the following ITS needs:
1. Improve congestion around special event venues before and after
events
2. Better management of congestion caused by incidents on freeways and major
arterials
3. Alleviate peak hour traffic congestion
5. Reduce the length of time that crashes block roadways
9. Lack of means to create a current picture of the regional transportation
network
10. Technology incompatibility
