Systems Engineering Process

Systems engineering grew from the need to develop large-scale (predominantly defense) systems in a structured manner that progresses from concept to production to operation. There are numerous courses, seminars and training sessions offered by private and public entities (including NASA) that introduce and certify users in the practice of SEP.

Promoted by the United States Department of Transportation (US DOT) as an effective way to successfully develop and deploy Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), numerous guides and support mechanisms specific to the ITS industry have been developed, including:

Summary of Relevant Standards

Various organizations are involved in the development of ITS standards. A brief summary of the pertinent standards that may be referenced within this module include:

  1. ASTM family of standards. Published on the ASTM International (originally known as the American Society for Testing and Materials) site, standard specifications for Archiving ITS-Generated Traffic Monitoring Data provides definitions of the data elements to be archived from ITS traffic management systems, their interrelationships, and the procedures and methodologies for collection and calculation of traffic statistics.
  2. ATIS and ITIS. Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) message set for Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) and International Traveler Information Systems (ITIS) phrase lists provide the messages and data elements that are exchanged among traveler information providers (data providers) and travelers (data consumers).
  3. IEEE 1512© family of standards. Published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers deal with information exchanges between public safety centers and traffic management centers.
  4. LRMS series of standards. SAE Location Referencing Message Specification (LRMS) provides for the definition of the location references of ITS.
  5. NTCIP family of standards. National Transportation Communications for ITS Protocol (NTCIP) communications standards (jointly developed by AASHTO, ITE, and NEMA) ensure interoperability of traffic control and ITS devices. Contains object definitions for numerous ITS devices including Actuated Traffic Signal Controllers, Dynamic Message Signs, Environmental Sensor Stations, Ramp Meter Control, Closed Circuit Television, etc.
  6. TCIP family of standards. Transit Communications Interface Profiles (TCIP) family of standards published by the American Public Transportation Association provide a library of information exchange building blocks to allow transit agencies and transit suppliers to create standardized tailored interfaces.
  7. TMDD and MS/ETMCC. Traffic Management Data Dictionary (TMDD) and Message Sets for External Traffic Management Center Communications (MS/ETMCC) standards were developed to support center-to-center communications. Published by ITE, owned jointly with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO).
