Abstract

The "National Roads Telecommunications Services" (NRTS) Project is a 10.5year deal to outsource provision of telecommunications services to support ITS on England's strategic road network. This paper addresses the lessons learnt of implementing a PPP/PFI tender. The aim of the deal was to amalgamate twenty eight bespoke analogue or bespoke digital circuits into a single "State of the Art" digital system capable of increased resilience. This would result in improved connectivity to the National and Regional Control Centres using internet protocols. This enabled the Agency to become aneffective Network Operator. The so called NRTS "Cloud" provided plug and play capability. For the covering abstract see ITRD E134653.
