Model Systems Engineering Documents for ASCT Updated
Posted: 9/17/2012

The FHWA Office of Operations released the interim version of the Model Systems Engineering Documents for Adaptive Signal Control Technology (ASCT) in August of 2011 to support the Every Day Counts Initiative. The document was immediately put to use by the FHWA Resource Center, delivering over 30 workshops and presentations to increase awareness of and address the risks associated with ASCT implementation. The updated document is an outcome of the knowledge and feedback gained during those workshops and extensive collaboration between technical specialist in FWHA, agency stakeholders and the consultant team responsible for orchestrating the delivery of the document. This document represents a substantial leap forward in how systems engineering is applied to traffic signal systems. If you would like support applying the document to ASCT implementation in your specific situation please contact your State FHWA Division Office or email eddie.curtis@dot.gov for assistance.
