Name: MnDOT Systems Engineering Overview
Description: This is the primary entry point that provides links to the Highway Project Development Process, a decision tree tool, a quick reference with step-by-step instructions, and a detailed set of checklists for most common ITS projects. The example content includes Concepts of Operation, Requirements, and Test Plans for many types of projects that are grouped by class. If you are looking for systems engineering information for most types of typical ITS projects, you are likely to find it in this broad collection of ITS technical resources.

Name: NYC Transit Signal Priority SEA Final Report
Description: This document is an update to the "Transit Signal Priority Project Systems Engineering Analysis Report (TSP PSEAR)" dated January 2015. This update includes NYC central Traffic Signal Priority (TSP) developments since January 2015, including alignment with the 2018 update of the NYC Sub-regional Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Architecture (NYCSRA). The NYCSRA 2018 update, in turn, incorporates dataflows recommended in the 2015 TSP PSEAR relevant service packages. This report is written for systems engineering staff responsible for overseeing ITS programs. It includes information for constructing and deploying the system which provides the foundation for system operation and future configuration management.

Name: Pennsylvania Adaptive Signal Control System Evaluation
Description: This document is used to properly evaluate and streamline the Systems Engineering Process for Adaptive Signal Control Systems. This document follows guidance provided by the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Model Systems Engineering Documents for Adaptive Signal Control Technology (ASCT) Systems (FHWA-HOP-11-027) and PennDOT's direction for adaptive signal systems in Publication 46. Upon completing this document, the appropriate needs, requirements, and evaluation of acceptable vendor products, a recommendation will be made based on the information and technology available when this evaluation was completed.
