Example systems engineering documents were collected from many different ITS projects to support development of this website. This view provides access to the collected examples, organized by deliverable. Note that these real world examples are not perfect, but you still may find them helpful. We are always looking for good examples, so please Contact Us if you or your agency may have additional examples to share.

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.
