Report Summary of the Kansas Statewide ITS Plan Benefit/cost analysis Public private opportunities ITS projects deployed to improve commercial vehicle operations have been estimated as having some of the greatest promised returns on investment of any ITS improvement type. By improving CVO compliance processes, the speed at which goods may be delivered can be increased while improving the safety of those movements. ITS/CVO deployments produce various benefits for different market sectors including motor carriers, government regulatory agencies, and the traveling public. The involvement of private sector carriers in the commercial vehicle arena provides many tangible opportunities for forging public/private partnerships. The involvement of the private sector in this program area is critical to the success of any ITS/CVO deployments. It is critical that the public sector and the carrier industry work together to not only minimize the costs of the deployment, but also coordinate the processes to maximize the utility of the system. Maintenance Program Area The maintenance program area includes ITS-related projects that fall under the domain of the KDOT Bureau of Construction and Maintenance. Examples of these projects include road/weather information systems (RWIS), the road condition reporting system (RCRS), installation of automatic vehicle location (AVL) and mobile data terminals (MDT) in maintenance vehicles and automated anti-icing systems for bridges.

Report Summary of the Kansas Statewide ITS Plan Interagency coordination System architecture Telecommunications needs Operating cost analysis Benefit/cost analysis Public private opportunities The majority of information collected and disseminated with these types of maintenance projects will be used internally by the Bureau of Construction and Maintenance. There may be advantages to coordinating with, and sharing information with other agencies responsible for roadway maintenance. Other agencies responsible for public safety, such as KHP, could also use the information generated by the maintenance systems. Since the National Architecture has not yet defined subsystems for Maintenance Vehicles or Maintenance Centers, these subsystems have to be added. RWIS, RCRS, and AVL are all elements of the Maintenance Center Subsystem. This subsystem receives road condition information from the maintenance vehicle, emergency vehicle and roadway subsystems. The personal information access, remote traveler support, traffic management and emergency management subsystems all use the road condition information. The following telecommunication methods will be tailored to meet the telecommunications needs of the Maintenance Program area. These include Optical Fiber, Telephone Lines, 800 MHz Radio, Cellular and Satellite, WAN/LAN, and the integration of RWIS, RCRS, and AVL. Operating costs for the identified maintenance projects will consist primarily of equipment replacement/upkeep and training for maintenance vehicle operators. No additional staff should be required to operate the planned systems. The evaluation of technologies may require some staff time during the initial phases of the projects. The modest operating costs for these projects should be partially offset by the cost efficiencies provided by the automated collection of road maintenance data. The benefits from projects under the Maintenance program area typically accrue to those agencies deploying the projects. These benefits result from more efficient management of resources and labor, and the elimination of redundant processes. Benefits are also experienced by highway users and include improved roadway safety and travel conditions brought about by improved maintenance. Few short-term opportunities exist to forge public/private partnerships with the maintenance projects. Legal and institutional issues block the potential to directly provide the collected data to the traveling public. However, the opportunity to share the collected data with an information service provider remains a narrow possibility. Potential long-term opportunities include equipping private vehicles with the data collection sensors to act as probe vehicles. Traffic Operations Program Area This program area primarily refers to projects aimed at improving traffic operations in metropolitan areas. Examples include the design of the Wichita Traffic Operations Center (TOC) and the Kansas City Scout Project. This area also includes the planning and design of a statewide operations center that would link the metropolitan TOCs and house a statewide TOC and regional traveler information center.
