Abstract
ITSs are developing into more and more complex systems. The classic components of the general purpose ITS software architecture are used widespread but its focus is on the databases and the user interface. To reflect the functionalities and complexity needed to accomplish an ITS of today’s standards a new software architecture was developed which emphasis the definition of functionality components and component connections without ignoring the classical components. A 5 layer architecture with a detailed separation into components but still abstract definition of an ITS is being shown in UML. Upcoming general ideas of important functionality is included and split up into more abstract packages.
