Traditional contracting and procurement procedues when applied to electronic data communication, computing, and software are not entirely appropriate for Advanced Traffic Management Systems, particularly if low-bid is the prime consideration for award. Purchasing and procurement legislation for the State of Texas and other states was reviewed to determine applicability in procuring Advanced Traffic Management/Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems. In particular, researchers considered compatibility issues in expanding existing systems. National efforts to develop a standard architecture and communications protocol will further enhance the ability to procure compatible system components. TxDOT should continue to monitor and participate in those national development activities.
