See the July 2019 News Release for information about ARC-IT Version 8.3, the latest version.

The ARC-IT Version 8.2 software tools, RAD-IT and SET-IT, have been updated with new features and performance improvements.

The architecture ARC-IT toolset has been upgraded to work with version 8.2 of ARC-IT, to include additional features and bug fixes. Numerous performance improvements have been included in both tools; SET-IT’s most complex tasks, including context diagram generation, have been notably improved and the user interface made more flexible.

New Training Modules Focused on Standards Used in Transit Deployments
The USDOT's ITS Professional Capacity Building Program (PCB) is pleased to provide an 11-module training series on standards used in ITS transit deployments to the transit community free of charge. These modules were developed with partners in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) and with support from the American Public Transit Association (APTA).


OCTOBER 2015

USDOT Announces the Release of the TPG v2.1 Software Tool
USDOT is pleased to provide the ITS Standards development and deployment communities with a new and updated tool. The Test Procedure Generator (TPG) provides users with two important capabilities for the National Transportation Communications for ITS Protocol (NTCIP) Center-to-Field (C2F) Device Interface Standards with Systems Engineering Content and follow NTCIP 8002 Annex B1 formatting. These capabilities include:

  • Guiding the development of test procedures for selected requirements in NTCIP C2F standards.
  • Importing draft standards from NTCIP C2F standards developers into the TPG to see a report of any non-compliance to NTCIP 8002 Annex B1. The report provides any breakages between requirement and design detail.

Using the TPG tool will reduce developmental risks, effort, and the cost of developing standards and test procedures, which in turn will encourage the deployment of interoperable NTCIP C2F systems. Agencies can use the test procedures generated by the TPG to help determine an implementation’s conformance to the NTCIP C2F Device Interface Standards. If extensions to the standard have been added for the project, the test procedures generated by the TPG can be used to help determine compliance to a project specification.

TPG v2.1 updates include:

  • Compatibility with Windows 7 Pro
  • Compatibility with Microsoft Office 2010
  • Minor bug fixes

Learn more and download the TPG v2.1 Tool.

The NTCIP 1209 v02
defines the user needs and features, functional requirements, and standardized data element and message dialog definitions for Transportation Sensor Systems (TSS). TSS are used in NTCIP center-to-field deployments, for system operators to get timely and accurate information on traffic flow. A central management station communicates with a TSS device which captures traffic parameters in zones. A zone is an abstract representation of an area, and is independent of technology.
