integration of each physical object necessary to implement one or more ITS applications

NOTE 1 to entry An ITS application typically requires multiple components (e.g. an ITS-S acting as a user and another ITS-S acting as a provider). An ITS implementation includes a sample of each component necessary for the service but often does not represent a complete deployment.

NOTE 2 to entry An ITS implementation is typically used for a laboratory or other experimental environment prior to a full-scale deployment.
