Description of Image 8
The chart shows the project plan for 6 years for the Stakeholder Working Group starting with FY 2004 and ending in FY 2010.
The foundational research starts in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005, the Development Feasibility phase begins. It first involves Operations and Systems Development, followed soon after by Work with Candidate Model Deployment Sites. Pre-Model Deployment Technology Transfer begins about halfway through phase 2 and last to the middle of phase 3. The third phase, Model Deployment Feasibility, begins at the end of fiscal year 2007. It begins with Model Deployment and Evaluation. It is followed by Integrated Corridor Management Technology Transfer. Through all three phases, the work is encompassed by Standards Completion and Deployment.
