Study Description
Study Description
WSRTC is a continuation and
broadening of the original California Oregon Advanced Transportation System
(COATS). COATS began in 1998 as a collaborative effort among the California
Department of Transportation (Caltrans), the Oregon Department of
Transportation (ODOT) and the Montana State University, Bozeman's Western
Transportation Institute (WTI) to investigate the use of Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS) in rural areas. The intent of the COATS project
was to facilitate the use of ITS to enhance safety, improve the movement of
people, goods and services, and subsequently promote the economic development
of the bi-state region and to begin deployment of those solutions.
During the COATS effort, the WSRTTIF
was created to bridge the technology transfer gap between practitioners.
WSRTTIF consisted of nuts-and-bolts presentations that allowed frank discussions
on how technology projects were implemented in the field. The WSRTTIF provided insight into not only
the need for collaboration on rural ITS technology transfer, but also
operations and safety research. The
WSRTTIF was acknowledged by nationally by NRITS in 2012 as the best new
innovative product, service or application.
The COATS Steering Committee
determined that it was in the best interest of the project to broaden its area
of service to the western United States. This included a refocusing on three
primary areas, technology, operations and safety, while leveraging research
dollars to provide reliable, robust solutions to common rural transportation
issues. The Steering Committee reached
out to Washington and Nevada and developed the charter for the WSRTC. Washington took the lead state role and
TPF-5(241) was underway in March 2011.
Utah joined the WSRTC in 2018.
The WSRTC has been responsible for operating
multiple projects, including:
-
Western States Rural Transportation Technology
Implementers Forum (Technology/Safety/Operations)
Objectives
The purpose of the WSRTC is to
promote innovative partnerships, technologies and educational opportunities to
facilitate and enhance safe, seamless rural travel throughout the western
United States.
The WSRTC also provides a
collaborative mechanism to leverage research activities in a coordinated manner
to respond to rural transportation issues among western states related to technology,
operations, and safety. -
Hold multi-day annual workshops for
discussion and exchange of information and knowledge about each state's Rural
ITS needs, standards and applications. Each of these workshops will focus
around planning and implementation of incubator and spin-off projects that meet
the WSRTC objectives. Support the presentation of WSRTC
research at local and national conferences with the purpose of technology
transfer. Provide the Western States Rural
Transportation Technology Implementers Forum to define, support and share
technology of mutual interest. Implement task orders, as requested
by the WSRTC Steering Committee. Develop and maintain the WSRTC
website which will display workshop reports, incubator and spin-off project
reports, and presentation material used at local and national conferences with
the purpose of technology transfer. - The
membership of the WSRTC currently consists of the following states and
universities: Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, the Western
Transportation Institute Montana State University Bozeman and Montana Technological
University.Scope of Work
