Systems Engineering

This purpose of this research would be accomplished by documenting best practices in systems engineering for ITS projects and evaluate the benefit of the recommended Systems Engineering processes for ITS to other system development processes within the department. During the course of the TO 11 Evaluation project, the project teamconducted extensive communication and coordination with significant stakeholders at all levels, including thirteen Divisions, three Districts, key offices, and individual experts. Over 100 key project development documents were reviewed as well. Findings from the project were presented during followup meetings (including Caltrans Executive Management). The result was the “Systems Engineering Evaluation for ITS Projects” report released June 2006.
