Model Systems Engineering Documents for Dynamic Message Sign (DMS) Systems

This guidance document for procuring Dynamic Message Sign (DMS) Systems is part of a series of Model Systems Engineering Documents. The model systems engineering documents provide a framework for agencies to clearly articulate their needs, and specify succinct and comprehensive system requirements to guide the procurement and implementation of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS).

Target procurements include those projects that:

• Cannot reasonably afford development of systems engineering documents from scratch.

• Make selections from existing device and software products in the market, rather than supporting new product or software development. These model documents make it possible for agencies to develop meaningful systems engineering documents that will effectively support procurements and reduce risk for smaller, more routine ITS implementation projects. Using these documents will support an agency’s compliance with 23CFR940.11.
