Module A311b (Update): Specifying Requirements for DMS Systems based on NTCIP 1203 Standard v03

Course Description:

Dynamic Message Signs (DMSs) are field devices deployed as part of a central Freeway Management System’s information dissemination purposes, and remotely monitored and controlled. The NTCIP 1203 standard v03 was developed using Systems Engineering Process (SEP) and was published in two companion volumes: Part 1 Main standard contains user needs, requirements and design content, and Part 2 contains Annex C Test Procedures. RTM is provided in Appendix A.

This updated module reflects changes made in the latest DMS standard v03 under Part 1: User needs/requirements and object definitions-dialogs; and Part 2 documentation, which contains test procedures. The module will focus on specifying DMS requirements and associated design content (dialogs, objects and other references and/or special project requirements if any) using RTM, and show to the participants how to continue building a project level RTM. The module will also stress that agencies require a project level RTM and must be included in the DMS specification.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Briefly review the structure of the DMS standard
  2. Explain the purpose of Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) and its benefits
  3. Prepare a project-level RTM with standard supplied requirements and design content (concepts)
  4. Prepare a DMS specification (check list)

Target Audience:

  • Traffic management and engineering staff
  • Traffic management center/operations staff
  • Freeway and traffic signal maintenance staff
  • System developers
  • Device manufacturers
  • DMS specification writers and procurement officers
  • Regional traveler information providers/corridor management personnel
