摘要

This paper aims to apply Social Network Analysis method in an investigation of interagency relationship in regional ITS system development. Government agencies who are involved in policy making, planning, and implementation of ITS systems rely on inter-agency cooperation to achieve their goals and expectations. From a network analysis perspective, these agencies build up ties with others and form networks for a specific purpose. We suggest a network-based approach to investigate the inter-agent interactions in regional ITS communities. Data on interagency relationships are based on direct observations and historic data. The network analysis approach enables us to recognize key groups/communities, identify key nodes and links, and discover structural holes with the potential of recommending new ties between agencies. The New York-New Jersey-Connecticut metropolitan region is a very unique example of complex transportation systems, where agencies are involved in multiple levels of policy making, planning, and implementation of activities in the transportation domain. By studying the centrality measures and component partitions of the individual networks and their combination, we found some agencies who were appointed to address regional issues function effectively and are active in assisting interagency communication. It was also observed that some agencies present themselves in more favorable positions when they participate in the regional ITS developments, while others are not as powerful in terms of controlling and monitoring information exchange in the network. The result of this research may facilitate the improvements of collaboration mechanism between agencies to achieve higher effectiveness.
