The key to achieving widespread interoperability among the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) services is through the implementation of robust non-proprietary standards. The U.S. Department of Transportation's (US DOT) ITS Joint Program Office is supporting an extensive, multi-year program of accelerating such standards development to strengthen and facilitate the successful deployment of ITS with a specific near-term focus on infrastructure. The program is supporting and accelerating the existing ITS consensus-based volunteer standards processes already under way in the U.S. This document identifies the strategy US DOT is pursuing in underpinning the ITS standards process and identifies activities currently being developed. This report provides an update to the 1996 report presented at the 3rd World Congress in Orlando, Florida.
