... 91 Chapter 5 - Planning for the Technical Components of Integrated Corridor Management Overview The purpose of this chapter is to introduce the design and deployment process for an ICM system, and the processes and plans agencies should perform in preparing for design and deployment. This chapter will consider the processes to take requirements to design, the key questions agencies need to ask to decide how they want to implement ICM, and which components of an ICM system will best fit their needs and requirements.

... 92 User Interface: Interface for system managers to interact with the ICM. This could be a stand-alone, separate interface or could be attained by customizing the interface of existing systems used by the agency (e.g., adding functionality to an existing Freeway ATMS or Traffic Signal System)

... 99 Update Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) for System Requirements The High-Level Design Document and the System Requirements Specifications will be reviewed together with the design team and stakeholders to verify that the proposed system of system solution satisfies the system requirements.
From page 111...
... 100 Potential Solutions Through the development of the concept of operations and implementation plan, stakeholders should develop a list of current systems, data, and policies that impact ICM operations. Based on the overall concepts and strategies, agencies need to identify the gaps within their systems and infrastructure that would prevent them from implementing the strategies associated with ICM.
From page 112...
... 101 Major Issues and Challenges Once stakeholders are supportive of the ICM project, the ICM concept has been developed, and expected benefits of the system have been assessed, one of the next major challenges is to determine which agencies will provide resources or initial funding for preliminary activities. Often, an ICM project will be funded incrementally, which can add complications and uncertainty to the project schedule.
