Iways Architecture

Under the Alaska Iways Architecture (AKIA), the ADOT&PF is attempting to develop an integrated, statewide Iways effort. The AKIA will serve to coordinate and integrate existing and future Iways projects so that they function as a technologically compatible, complementary system.

The AKIA conforms to the broader National ITS Architecture, which is used as a framework for the design, development and implementation of Intelligent Transportation System technologies.

ADOT&PF updated the AKIA in 2008. If you’d like an introduction to AKIA, please download the Summary Report.

Operational Concept An ITS Operational Concept is a high-level understanding of how agencies and the various ITS elements they own and operate interconnect to form an integrated “system of subsystems”. This chapter provides agencies the ability to easily understand where in the regional context they fit in terms of performing ITS activities. pdf icon (456 KB)
