Canada’s ITS Plan incorporates the development of a national ITS architecture
to ensure that products and services are seamlessly integrated. The system
architecture provides a unified framework for integration to guide the co-ordinated
deployment of ITS programs within the public and private sectors. It offers
a starting point from which stakeholders can work together to achieve
compatibility among ITS elements to ensure unified ITS deployment for a
given region.
The architecture describes interaction among physical components of the
transportation system including travelers, vehicles, roadside devices,
and control centres. It also describes the information and
communications system requirements, how data should be shared and used,
and the standards required to facilitate information sharing for ITS
deployment. Overall, the system architecture defines the
functionality of ITS components and the information flows among ITS
elements to achieve total system goals.

Border Information Flow Architecture
Transport Canada is undertaking the development of a Border Information
Flow Architecture in partnership with the Federal Highway Administration. The Architecture could help guide a deliberate effort to
ensure that technology deployed at border crossings are able to interact with
each other. The development of the border architecture will follow
the regional ITS architecture practices widely used throughout Canada and the
U.S. Federal, state and provincial agencies from both sides of the border have been actively
participating in the working group.
