Kauai Regional ITS Architecture Projects (Printable Version) The Regional ITS Architecture provides a starting point for project definition. It provides an overall framework that shows how anticipated projects will integrate with each other and with existing systems. This page lists all the ITS projects that have been mapped to the regional ITS architecture. Near-term projects are scheduled for the next 5 years.  Long-term projects are planned for implementation more than 5 years out. Select a project from the box below to jump to that ITS project.

HDOT-HWY-K Fixed Dynamic Message Signs (DMS) Planned Long-Term This project will add fixed DMS at key locations in Kauai. These signs will need to be smaller fixed mount signs that would notify the public of road closures and alternate routes. HDOT-HWY-K Portable Dynamic Message Sign (DMS) Upgrade Planned Long-Term This project will upgrade HDOT-HWY-K portable DMS to have modems for remote access. Kauai Bus Master Transit Coordination Center Planned Long-Term This project would create a master transit coordination center for the island. This center could potentially include not only Kauai Bus elements, but also private shuttles if the shuttle project moves in that direction. Kauai Bus Transit Signal Priority (TSP) Planned Long-Term This project will implement transit signal priority to improve schedule adherence. Hanalei Flood Warning System Planned Long-Term This project will involve HDOT-HWY-K, Kauai Civil Defense, Police, and DPW to develop a warning system consisting of CCTV and other ITS equipment. Information from rain gauges operated and maintained by the National Weather Service / USGS will be used for alerting agency personnel. The Kauai EOC activate alerts about imminent floods through its Blackboard notification system, including updates concerning road closures due to flooding. Finally, the Kauai EOC will also warn shelter providers, as travelers can often be stranded during floods. Kauai Wireless Communications Upgrade Planned Long-Term This project will improve wireless communications for Kauai EMS. HDOT-AIR-K Airport Secondary Entrance Planned Long-Term Should a second entrance to the Lihue Airport be constructed, ITS field devices (e.g., CCTV cameras, traffic sensors, dynamic message signs) could be included in the project design in coordination with HDOT-HWY-K. HDOT-AIR-K Mobile Data Terminals Planned Long-Term This project will add MDTs to the HDOT-AIR-K/ARFF Fire/Emergency Vehicles. HDOT-AIR-K Wireless Communications Upgrade Planned Long-Term This project will upgrade wireless communications for the Kauai Airport. HDOT-HAR-K Emergency and Traffic Coordination Planned Long-Term This project will establish a connection between the Harbor Security Office, the EOC and the HDOT-HWY-K's desired traffic operations center (TOC). HDOT-HAR-K Security Trailer Planned Long-Term This project will construct a security trailer with a consolidated Security Office at Nawiliwili that operates 24/7 with adequate staff to monitor video from all CCTV cameras; ensure access to camera images regardless of vendor using a video distribution system. HDOT-HWY-K Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Planned Long-Term This project will add CCTV at state intersections in Kauai. HDOT-HWY-K Traffic Control Center (TCC) Planned Long-Term This project will create a traffic control center from which State traffic signals and other ITS equipment will be monitored. The center will include connections to the Kauai 911 Dispatch Center and Kauai EOC. Kauai Bus WiFi Planned Long-Term This project will add WiFi connectivity on every bus and at every Kauai Bus stop. Kauai DPW Fixed Dynamic Message Signs (DMS) Planned Long-Term This project will coordinate with HDOT-HWY-K to deploy permanent DMS with advisory speed messages. The signs will also have the capability to collect speed data. HDOT-AIR-K Parking Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Planned Near-Term This project will expand CCTV camera coverage to include parking areas. HDOT-AIR-K Roads Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Planned Near-Term This project will expand CCTV camera coverage to include the roads leading to/from the airport. HDOT-HWY-K Traffic Signal Upgrade Planned Near-Term This project will upgrade traffic signal systems to have remote monitoring capability. Existing modems in equipment could be lit up and FOC could be added. Alternatively, a Public-Private partnership with telecommunications providers could be established through an MOA. Kauai Bus Transit Center Planned Near-Term This project will design and construct a transit center at the Lihue Civic Center. Kauai EMS Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) System Planned Near-Term This project will upgrade tablets in Kauai EMS vehicles to ensure CAD functionality. HDOT-HAR-K Expanded Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Coverage Planned Near-Term This project will expand CCTV coverage at the port to address blind corners. HDOT-HAR-K Monopole Wireless Communications Planned Near-Term This project is part of the statewide maritime wireless communications project to construct and install a monopole at each port, enabling wireless communication between the Harbors Division and its districts, with the State and County Civil Defense/Emergency Management centers. Specific to Kauai, the project will enable HDOT-HAR-K to communicate with the other districts and will allow the Kauai Civil Defense to be able to see images from the HAR-K surveillance cameras at the County of Kauai's Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to increase situational awareness. Camera control would not be provided to other agencies or departments. Kapaa Transportation Solutions Project Planned Near-Term The Kapaa Transportation Solutions Project will look at transportation improvements to benefit Kapaa. There may be ITS applications considered for implementation as part of this project. Kauai Bus Automated Vehicle Location (AVL)/ Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) Planned Near-Term This project will add automated vehicle location (AVL) to all buses and paratransit vehicles, along with computer aided dispatch (CAD) for fleet management. Kauai Bus Next Bus Traveler Information Planned Near-Term This project will add Next Bus real-time traveler information to Kauai buses. Kauai Bus On-Board Closed Captioned Television (CCTV) Cameras Planned Near-Term This project will add on-board closed captioned television (CCTV) cameras to Kauai Buses to provide security. Kauai CDA and Kauai 911 Dispatch Center Coordination Planned Near-Term This project will add a read-only CAD feed from the Kauai 911 Dispatch Center to the Kauai EOC. Kauai DPW Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Planned Near-Term This project will coordinate with HDOT-HWY-K to add CCTV cameras for traffic monitoring on Kauai County roads at select areas. Kauai DPW Temporary Speed Signs Planned Near-Term This project coordinates with HDOT-HWY-K to deploy temporary speed signs with the dual purpose of collecting data and responding to neighborhood speed complaints. Kauai Fire MDT Upgrade Planned Near-Term This project will replace MDTs (likely with tablets). [Note: This project has some dependency on KFD's selection of a replacement CAD system.] Kauai Fire Wireless Communications Upgrade Planned Near-Term This project will improve wireless communications for the Kauai Fire. Kauai Police Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) System Upgrade Planned Near-Term This project will upgrade or replace the Kauai Police CAD system. Kauai Police Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) Upgrade Planned Near-Term This project will upgrade the MDTs in Kauai Police vehicles.

The Hawaiian language uses two diacritical markings. The 'okina is a glottal stop; and the kahako is a macron. The State of Hawaii strongly encourages the use of Hawaiian diacritical markings. The National ITS Architecture tool, Turbo Architecture, does not allow for the Hawaiian diacritical markings to be input and as such, customized service package diagrams, operational concepts and other outputs from Turbo are unable to reflect the diacritical markings. To ensure consistency in this ITS Architecture website, no Hawaiian diacritical markings will be used.
