The SEMP will identify tasks to be completed, and summarize the project schedule, tasks, responsibilities, and how the final products will be integrated, installed, verified, and maintained. The SEMP will enable the project team to manage the project using systems engineering principles and methods to maximize the quality of the system being implemented while minimizing the budget and schedule. The SEMP documents are living documents, so as information is gathered through the life of the project, some plans may be updated to reflect the most current data.

Name: FHWA Model Systems Engineering Documents for Central Traffic Signal Systems
Description: This document is intended to provide guidance for professionals involved in developing systems engineering documents covering the evaluation, selection and implementation of Central Traffic Signal Systems. (CTSS). It includes initial user needs, system requirements, and template statements that can support efficient development of a Concept of Operations, a Requirements Document, a Verification Plan, and a Validation Plan. The CCTS may be a brand new deployment or an expansion of an existing system.

The Model Systems Engineering Documents for CTSS are intended for projects with the following characteristics:
* Relatively small, such that the project budget cannot be reasonably expected to fund systems engineering document development from scratch.
* Constrained to existing products in the market. The model documents are not intended to provide the detail necessary to support new significant software development.
* Applications of CTSS already well-defined in the transportation industry.

Agencies building large projects with custom software development or innovative applications will need to perform more detailed custom systems engineering, though these documents may provide an effective and time-saving starting point for that effort.

Name: SANDAG Curb Access Management Concept of Operations
Description: The purpose of this document is to provide a Concept of Operations (ConOps) for curbside management implementation in the San Diego region. The ConOps provides a non-technical description of the curbside management system from the point of view of the stakeholders, giving each stakeholder a conceptual look at how the system will function and their roles and responsibilities in operating and maintaining the system. The ConOps provides a high-level description of the system, how it will operate, who will operate what, and describes the anticipated scenarios under which the system will be operating. This document allows stakeholders to provide input on the high-level concept of the system and ultimately agree to the system to be designed.

Stakeholders can use this document as a framework for further development of projects, policies, and projects that reflect the goals, objectives, and needs presented here. While the ConOps provides a regional vision for deployments that are consistent with the San Diego Forward: 2021 Regional Plan, implementation will be performed by local stakeholder groups. The existing capabilities of each agency and each corridor vary significantly across the region, and the operational scenarios presented in this document have been chosen to represent a cross-section of possibilities for the diverse user groups across the region.

Description: The purpose of this document is to provide a Concept of Operations (ConOps) for Smart Intersection Systems (SIS) implementation in the San Diego region. The ConOps provides a non-technical description of the SIS from the point of view of the stakeholders, giving each stakeholder a conceptual look at how the system will function and their roles and responsibilities in operating and maintaining the system. This ConOps provides stakeholders the opportunity to provide input on the high-level system concept and provides a description of how the system will operate, who will operate what, and a description of three operational scenarios.
Stakeholders can use this document as a framework for further development of projects, policies, and projects that reflect the goals, objectives, and needs presented here. While the ConOps provides a regional vision for deployments that are consistent with the San Diego Forward: 2021 Regional Plan, implementation will be performed by local stakeholder groups. The existing capabilities of each agency and each corridor vary significantly across the region, and the operational scenarios presented in this document have been chosen to represent a cross-section of possibilities for the diverse user groups across the region. Stakeholders should conduct a capability maturity assessment to determine strategies that will enable them to benefit from the full range of functionalities.

Name: FHWA Model Systems Engineering Documents for Central Traffic Signal Systems
Description: This document is intended to provide guidance for professionals involved in developing systems engineering documents covering the evaluation, selection and implementation of Central Traffic Signal Systems. (CTSS). It includes initial user needs, system requirements, and template statements that can support efficient development of a Concept of Operations, a Requirements Document, a Verification Plan, and a Validation Plan. The CCTS may be a brand new deployment or an expansion of an existing system.

The Model Systems Engineering Documents for CTSS are intended for projects with the following characteristics:
* Relatively small, such that the project budget cannot be reasonably expected to fund systems engineering document development from scratch.
* Constrained to existing products in the market. The model documents are not intended to provide the detail necessary to support new significant software development.
* Applications of CTSS already well-defined in the transportation industry.

Agencies building large projects with custom software development or innovative applications will need to perform more detailed custom systems engineering, though these documents may provide an effective and time-saving starting point for that effort.
