The U.S. Brazil Multimodal Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Workshop

August 2017

The United States Department of Transportation, the Brazilian Ministry of Transport, Ports, and Civil Aviation, and the Brazilian National Agency of Waterway Transportation (ANTAQ), in coordination with the U.S. Departments of Commerce and State, conducted a three-day Multimodal Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) applications, architecture, and standards workshop in Brasilia, Brazil in August 2017. Held under the auspices of the U.S.-Brazil Transportation Partnership and attended by government transportation officials and decision-makers and the private sector, the workshop successfully advanced the transportation and trade cooperation between Brazil and the United States.

The primary objective of the workshop was to facilitate technical exchange that will help promote ITS and reinforce the implementation of National Transportation Communications for Intelligent Transportation System Protocol (NTCIP). Once fully implemented, NTCIP will result in interoperable and interchangeable ITS system equipment from different manufacturers, leading to reduced equipment, vehicle, and engineering costs and efficient deployments. The workshop also included discussions of the recent architecture evolution and the integration of Connected Vehicle (CV) support into the U.S. Reference Architecture released in June 2017. The Reference Architecture for Cooperative and Intelligent Transportation may be accessed at www.arc-it.org.

Through presentations and case studies, this technical exchange demonstrated the benefits of interoperability and integration of new technologies into transportation systems, provided updates on transportation technology objectives and challenges to implementation, and identified next steps in successful implementation of ITS standards.
