This document is designed primarily for public sector managers and staff who deploy ITS projects. System owners, operators, maintainers, private sector transportation professionals or anyone else in need of a primer on the basics of systems engineering for ITS will also find parts of this document useful. The document assumes the reader has a transportation background and knows something about ITS, but you don’t need any previous knowledge of systems engineering to benefit from this document.
You might have noticed that systems engineers are not included in the above list. Systems engineers should already be familiar with the systems engineering content included here, though they may benefit from discussion of the application of systems engineering to ITS as well as the discussion of how to tailor the systems engineering effort to different types of ITS projects. The document is intended for transportation professionals who are involved in ITS project development and will need to know something about systems engineering in order to manage the contractor or agency teams developing an ITS project.
