Description

An electric and lighting management system (ELMS) is defined as any system that is able to automatically control and manage roadside electrical and lighting devices using the National Transportation Communications for Intelligent Transportation System Protocol (NTCIP). In general, an ELMS is composed of a set of field devices (luminaires, electric circuits, electric vehicle chargers, connected vehicle, smart grid connectivity, etc.) that are controlled by one or more management stations (computing platforms).

 

This module assists user agencies in creating and applying a test plan specific to their electrical and lighting management system needs based on the NTCIP1213 v03 Standard. Prior to developing such a test plan, the user is expected to be knowledgeable of the NTCIP 1213 v03 Standard and testing methodologies. This module will cover material related to elements of the NTCIP 1213 v03 standard required to apply test plans to verify that an agency’s product or system meets design specifications and other conformance requirements of the NTCIP 1213 Standard v03, while following standard testing methodologies, including test procedures. (NTCIP 1203 v03 does not contain test procedures).
 
Target Audience:

  • Engineering staff
  • Operations and maintenance staff
  • Traffic management staff
  • Testing staff (testing personnel and systems integrators, with specialized capabilities)
  • Public and private sector staff
  • Product and system developers

Learning Objectives:
  • Describe within the context of the testing lifecycle the role of test plans and the testing to be undertaken for ELMS
  • Describe the application of a good test plan to an ELMS system being procured
  •  Identify key elements of NTCIP 1213 v03 relevant to the test plan

  • Describe a process of adapting a test plan based on the selected user needs and requirements
