Preface
Functional design, as described in this book, is the selection of ITS management strategies and the field equipment deployments required to implement them. In most cases, functional design stops short of the selection of detailed technologies. Starting with the development of detailed objectives, functional design relates management strategies to project objectives, identifies alternative strategies for further consideration, and evaluates these strategies. It then determines whether one or more strategies can cost effectively satisfy the objectives and recommends the most appropriate alternative. Although considerable effort has been expended by the Federal Highway Administration and others to develop high-level systems engineering processes, in practice, ITS designers have often used a “bottom up” approach. Designers often select devices and device locations without a strong connection to project objectives or to methodologies that assess the feasibility of the project and the proposed design. This book provides guidance for adapting these systems engineering processes to freeway ITS project functional requirements. It provides the basis for selecting the types
