Figure 1.1: Kansas Statewide ITS Plan Flow Chart Section 1 Transportation Problems Traveler Needs Baseline ITS Inventory Input from Stakeholders Statewide ITS Goals Department Needs (Goals) ITS Vision ITS User Services Outreach Regional Architecture Section 2 Periodic Revision Mainstreaming Project Identification Section 3 Section 4 Plan Methodology Strategic Plan Evaluation Plan Deployment The Baseline Condition Report illustrates the existing foundation of ITS in rural and urban areas of Kansas. The baseline was determined by reviewing and investigating the following four sources of input: • Review of existing KDOT-ITS planning studies, research efforts, and implementation programs, • Outreach effort to six KDOT Districts with day-long Awareness Seminars, • Interviews with KDOT Personnel and Feedback from ITS Steering Committee, and • Analysis of survey information. The information that was gathered from each of these sources is presented in the next four sections of this report. The final section of this report will synthesize these results to formulate a set of statewide ITS goals for the state of Kansas. The statewide ITS goals will be the basis for developing a regional architecture and strategic deployment plan for ITS in Kansas.

This study is a project administered by the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT). Although no steering committee was formed specifically for this project, the KDOT ITS Steering Committee is responsible for providing guidance, suggestions and feedback throughout the study. The ITS Steering Committee is comprised of KDOT representatives from numerous bureaus and offices with an interest in ITS for Kansas. The Steering Committee also includes representatives from FHWA and the University of Kansas. The following KDOT bureaus are represented in the Steering Committee: transportation planning, design, construction and maintenance, traffic engineering and local projects. 1.1 Review of Existing ITS Initiatives in Kansas Kansas has several ITS initiatives currently taking place. Each of these initiatives is discussed below. The first set of initiatives includes all of the planning studies and research related to ITS in Kansas. The second set of initiatives covers the ITS Infrastructure an Implementation in Kansas. The section concludes with a summary of the current telecommunications infrastructure in Kansas. Planning Studies and Research 1.1.1 Kansas City Early Deployment Study An ITS Early Deployment Study was completed in 1996 for the Kansas City metropolitan area. The study was developed to facilitate coordination of ITS activities in the Kansas City area, and to provide a common framework for deployment. The study, which primarily focused on the freeway system, revealed that Kansas City freeways experience both recurring and incident related congestion. Therefore, the following ITS user services were recommended by the study for deployment in the Kansas City area: incident management, traffic control, emergency notification and personal security, and emergency vehicle management. The study also recommended an ITS system architecture for the Kansas City area. However, at the time the study was completed, the National ITS Architecture was not yet released. Therefore, a system architecture was only recommended – not developed. The recommended architecture included two central servers, one for each state, with a single information server to exchange information between the servers and to provide information to outside sources. The system would include a single traffic operations center (TOC). Emergency management coordination would be based on the existing 911-dispatch system with TOC operators contacting emergency responders directly using the 911-dispatch system. Some, but not all, signal systems would be controlled from the TOC and transit functions will be maintained outside of the TOC. The primary focus of the study was the deployment of a freeway management system in Kansas City. At the time the study was completed, there were plans to deploy the system Baseline Condition Report 1-4 Section 1 of the Kansas Statewide ITS Plan July, 00
