The Texas Technology Task Force (TTTF) is a strategic initiative that supports the Texas Department of Transportation in navigating change and developing a common vision for the state’s transportation system. Composed of thought leaders from public agencies, industry, and research, the TTTF provides insight into portfolio development, impact analysis, and strategic planning. This document contains five TTTF White Papers: Volume 1 - Understanding the Customer of the Future; Volume 2 - Revolutionizing the Global Logistics Industry; Volume 3 - Identifying Opportunities and Challenges of UAVs; Volume 4 - Managing Customer Relationships Using Big Data ; and Volume 5 - Formulating a Communications Strategy.
Proposed TxDOT Strategic Research Program—Second Year Report
2011
In February 2010, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) contracted with the Center for Transportation Research (CTR) at the University of Texas at Austin, the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI), and the Center for Multidisciplinary Research in Transportation (TechMRT) at Texas Tech University, to assist TxDOT in developing a Strategic Research Program (SRP). This report documents the work conducted from September 2010 to August 2011. The scope of the proposed SRP is to prepare TxDOT for the transportation challenges likely to be faced in the next 10–30 years. The SRP complements the current technical research program by addressing transportation issues that the State Legislature and TxDOT Administration foresee affecting the efficiency and viability of the statewide transportation system. Research recommendations could require legislative action and/or internal departmental adjustments.

In late 2009, The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) proposed the development of a Strategic Research Program (SRP) to prepare the department for the transportation challenges likely to be faced in the next 10-30 years. This report documents the results of the work conducted by the Center for Transportation Research (CTR) at The
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) show great potential for improving transportation system efficiency for users and system operators. Over the past decade, ITS technologies have been deployed in every major U.S. metropolitan area, on rural highways, and in smaller cities. However, institutional questions (e.g., interoperability and access to public rights-of-way) related to publicprivate partnerships must be addressed to facilitate ITS deployment and mainstreaming.

Research to Develop an ITS Strategic Plan for Texas
2014
Texas Department of Transportation's (TxDOT’s) mission is to provide safe and reliable transportation solutions for the citizens of Texas. Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) can play a pivotal role in meeting that mission. TxDOT can take advantage of advanced and emerging technologies to enhance safety and promote reliability by ensuring that travelers see the transportation network as a seamless system that helps get them to their destinations and deliver goods and services to the citizens of Texas with as little disruption as possible. ITS is a critical component of the transportation infrastructure that helps ensure the system operates in the most efficient way possible every day, every night, and during all types of situations and weather conditions. TxDOT has four primary goals related to meeting its mission. These goals are: maintain a safe system, address congestion, connect Texas communities, and become a best-in-class state agency. The agency cannot hope to succes...
