Description
This module assists user agencies in creating a test plan specific to their dynamic message system needs based on the NTCIP 1203 v03 standard. NTCIP 1202 v03 builds on the NTCIP 1202 v02 standard by adding test procedures for testing conformance to the standard. Prior to developing such a test plan, the user is expected to be knowledgeable of the NTCIP 1203 v03 standard and testing methodologies. This module will cover material related to elements of the 1203 standard required to apply test plans to verify that an agency’s product or system meets design specifications and other requirements of the NTCIP 1203 DMS standard, while following standard testing methodologies.

The module includes a brief description of the DMS standard with examples in order to perform the verification mentioned above. This module will cover the role of other modes of testing including compliance, manufacturing and acceptance tests, and verification and validation as part of the testing life cycle.


Target Audience
• Engineering staff
• Operations and maintenance staff
• System integrators
• Device manufacturers
• Testing contractors

Instructor: Patrick Chan, PE
Mr. Chan has been involved with the development of ITS standards, specifically NTCIP 1203, Object Definitions for Dynamic Message Signs, since the year 2000. as an ITS project manager for a public agency. He is one of the developers of NTCIP 1203 v03. He has applied the systems engineering process to numerous other ITS standards including NTCIP 1211 v02, NTCIP 1204 v04, the Traffic Management Data Dictionary (TMDD) for center-to-center, and SAE J3067, which is a comment to SAE 2735, Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) Message Set Dictionary, the data dictionary for connected vehicles, with systems engineering content.
