Deployment Challenges at Airports  Little staff knowledge of ITS Architecture, Functions, and Standards  No ITS Plans  No systems supporting regional ITS Interoperability  Organizational structure  Institutional

Deployment Challenges at SeaTac International  Concurrent deployments  Parking guidance system  CCTV System revamp  911 CAD Upgrade  ICT operational issues  Sound Transit LRT system  Project phasing and commissioning  Future systems

Lessons Learned Develop an ITS Plan Prepare a concept of operations Understand the institutional issues Traditional transportation agency approach won’t work for airports
