Rural corridors often include long stretches of highway with limited power, communications, and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) infrastructure; long distances between cities or services for travelers; different traffic and roadway characteristics; and significant incident-related rerouting distances.
The National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Research Report 978: Initiating the Systems Engineering Process for Rural Connected Vehicle Corridors, Volume 3: Model System Requirements Specification provides information that will apply in general to most current and proposed systems. It is intended to provide a base document that a deploying agency can customize to fit their project and situation.
Supplemental to this report are a research overview (Volume 1), a model concept of operations (Volume 2), and a PowerPoint presentation of context diagrams.
