The primary objective of the National Transportation Communications for ITS Protocol (NTCIP) is to provide a
communications standard that ensures the interoperability and interchangeability of traffic control and
Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) devices. The NTCIP is the first protocol for the transportation
industry that provides a communications interface between disparate hardware and software products. The
NTCIP effort not only maximizes the existing infrastructure, but it also allows for flexible expansion in the
future, without reliance on specific equipment vendors or customized software.
