+## Open Source Overview
 The ITS ODE is a real-time virtual data router that ingests and processes operational data from various connected devices - including vehicles, infrastructure, and traffic management centers - and distributes it to other devices and subscribing transportation management applications. Using the ITS ODE within intelligent transportation deployments increases data fluidity and interoperability while meeting operational needs and protecting user privacy. The software’s microservices architecture makes it easy to add new capabilities to meet local needs.

+### System Requirements
+Minimum memory: 16 GB
+Minimum Storage Space: 100 GB
+Operating systems supported: Ubuntu Linux
+
+The ODE software can run on most standard Window or Linux based computers with 
+Pentium core processors, with at least 16 gigabytes of RAM and at least 100 GB of drive space.
+Performance of the software will be based on the computing power and available RAM in 
+the system. Larger data flows can require much larger space requirements depending on the 
+amount of data being processed by the software. The ODE software application was developed using the open source programming language Java. The application requires Java 8 or higher to run. The application can be run on Windows, Linux, or Mac operating systems.
