(Note: There is additional text attached to this slide that includes the following introductory information from Shelley Row):

"ITS Standards can make your life easier. Your procurements will go more smoothly and you’ll encourage competition, but only if you know how to write them into your specifications and test them. This module is one in a series that covers practical applications for acquiring and testing standards-based ITS systems.

I am Shelley Row the director of the ITS Joint Program Office for USDOT and I want to welcome you to our newly redesigned ITS standards training program of which this module is a part. We are pleased to be working with our partner, the Institute of Transportation Engineers, to deliver this new approach to training that combines web based modules with instructor interaction to bring the latest in ITS learning to busy professionals like you.

This combined approach allows interested professionals to schedule training at your convenience, without the need to travel. After you complete this training, we hope that you will tell colleagues and customers about the latest ITS standards and encourage them to take advantage of the archived version of the webinars.

ITS Standards training is one of the first offerings of our updated Professional Capacity Training Program. Through the PCB program we prepare professionals to adopt proven and emerging  ITS technologies that will make surface transportation safer, smarter and greener which improves livability for us all. You can find information on additional modules and training programs on our web site ITS PCB Home.

Please help us make even more improvements to our training modules through the evaluation process. We look forward to hearing your comments. Thank you for participating and we hope you find this module helpful."

Stakeholders for a System

"Stakeholders for a System." Graphic image. See extended text description below.

(Extended Text Description:“Stakeholders for a System.”   A graphic of four concentric circles arranged like an archery target.  The innermost circle is a reddish tan.  The three bands of colors that are further from the center are in lighter shades of tan.  This is called an “onion diagram” as onions are made up of multiple layers.  The inner circle is labeled “Physical System.”  The next layer outward is labeled “Operational System.”  The next layer outward is labeled “Containing System.”  The outermost layer is labeled “Wider Environment.” There are smaller black graphics of person positioned in the different layers of the diagram.  Each person has a project role next to it as follows: 1)  Inner Circle has no people – It represents the system; 2) Next Layer Outward has three people labeled TMC Operator, Field Maintenance, and Operational Support respectively; 3) Next Layer Outward has two people labeled Interfacing System Owner and Purchaser respectively; and 4) Outermost Layer has four people labeled Sponsor of the Project, Regulatory Agency, Public, and Politician respectively. The picture demonstrates while they are all stakeholders, different stakeholders have different levels of influence on the physical system to be defined.  The most influence coming from those closest to the center.

(Extended Text Description: “Review of the Systems Life Cycle.”  A graphic of the systems engineering process (SEP). The main graphic of the SEP is a V-shaped diagram in gradated blue with some additional horizontal extensions on the left and right side of the top of the V shape. Each section is separated with dark blue lines. There is a key at the lower right showing the blue separator lines, and designating them as “Document/Approval.” The left horizontal extension is labeled as “Lifecycle Processes” and include the sections “Regional Architecture” (separated by a white space) to the second section labeled “Needs Assessment,” (blue line) “Concept Selection,” (blue line) “Project Planning,” (blue line) and “Systems Engineering Management Planning.” At this point the sections begin to descend the left side of the V with “Concept of Operations,” “System Requirements,” “High-level Design,” “Subsystem Requirements,” “Detailed Design,” and “Software Coding / Hardware Fabrication” at the bottom juncture of the V shape. Underneath the bottom point of the V shape are the words “Implementation” then “Development Processes” and a long thin arrow pointing to the right labeled “Time Line.” There is a long thin diagonal arrow pointing down along the left side of the V labeled “Decomposition and Definition.” From the bottom point of the V, the sections begin to ascend up the right side of the V with “Unit Testing,” (blue line) “Subsystem Integration,” (blue line) “Subsystem Verification,” (blue line) “System Integration,” (blue line) “System Verification,” (blue line) “Initial Deployment,” (blue line) “System Validation,” and (blue line) “Operations and Maintenance.” There is a long thin arrow pointing up along the right side of the V shaped labeled “Integration and Recomposition.” At this point the sections on the right “wing” of the V are labeled with “Changes and Upgrades” and (white space) “Retirement/Replacement.” Between the V shape there are a series of gray dashed arrows connecting the related sections on each left/right side of the V shape. The first arrow (top) is labeled “System Validation Plan” and connects “Concept of Operations” on the left and “System Validation” on the right. The second arrow is labeled “System Verification Plan (System Acceptance)” and connects “System Requirements” on the left and “System Verification and Deployment” on the right. The third arrow is labeled “Subsystem Verification Plan (Subsystem Acceptance)” and connects “High-Level Design” on the left and “Subsystem Verification” on the right. The last arrow (at the bottom) is labeled “Unit/Device Test Plan” and connects “Detailed Design” on the left and “Unit/Device Testing” on the right. The slide has animation.  As the instructor discusses each of the development processes, a circle is drawn around the process on the V diagram.)

Slide 23:

Learning Objective #1

Different Types of Requirements

 

Slide 24:

Learning Objective #2

The Concept of a Well-Formed Requirement

 

Slide 25:

Learning Objective #2

Structure of Well Formed Requirements

[Actor] [Action] [Target] [Constraint] [Localization]

Actor Identifies who or what that does the action

Action Identifies what is to happen

Target Identifies who or what receives the action

Constraint Identifies how to measure success or failure of the requirement

Localization Identifies the circumstances under which the requirement applies

Localization and constraint portions are important but not all requirements will have both

 

Slide 26:

Learning Objective #2

Structure of Well-Formed Requirements

[Actor] [Action] [Target] [Constraint] [Localization]

Example:

The system [Actor] shall generate [Action] event reports [Target] containing the following information [Constraint] on a scheduled interval [localization]

If a requirement can't be stated in this simple format, you probably need to define the functionality using multiple requirements.

"Systems Engineering Process Applied to ITS Communications Standards" animation graphic. See extended text description below.

(Extended Text Description: “Systems Engineering Process Applied to ITS Communications Standards.”  The purpose is to illustrate when in the development process ITS communications processes are typically used.  When the slide is first displayed, it shows the lower portion of the SEP V diagram described above in Slide 14 on the right side.  The animation is different than Slide 14. The animation is as follows: 1) As the instructor discusses subsystems, most of the V diagram fades except for the bottom portion containing the five processes “High-Level Design,” “Detailed Design,” “Software/Hardware Development Field Installation,” “Unit/Device Testing” and “Subsystem Verification.”  The instructor refers to this as the “Subsystem Little V.” 2) The Subsystem Little V moves to the top right portion of the slide.  An oval is drawn around the processes “High-Level Design” and “Detailed Design.”  An arrow points to from the left oval to the left at a picture of the cover of the NTCIP 1209:2005 Standard. On the left side, there is a graphic of a burgundy cover with the title and information “NTCIP 1209:2005 National Transportation Communications for ITS Protocol,” “Data Elements Definitions Transportation Sensor Systems,” “Joint Standard of AASHTO, ITE and NEMA,” “version 01.19,” IHS logo, ITE logo, AASHTO logo, NEMA logo, “NTCIP Standards Publications,” and “A Joint Publications of American Association of State Highway and Transportation Office (AASHTO), Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA).”)
