6 Scope Volume 2 of NCHRP Research Report 978 serves as a model Concept of Operations (ConOps) document to guide agencies responsible for rural corridors as they assess their needs, operational concepts, and scenarios for connected vehicle deployment.

Scope 7 For purposes of this document, a rural corridor refers to highway facilities ranging from limited access interstates in sparsely populated areas to principal roadways that connect small towns. e focus is on a mostly linear travel pattern with limited infrastructure deployment on the corridor, not on the wider surrounding area.

8 Initiating the Systems Engineering Process for Rural Connected Vehicle Corridors Successful connected vehicle deployments will ensure that local needs and challenges are addressed, measurable goals and objectives are set, and appropriate connected vehicle applications and solutions are identied. For some, the tendency might be to forego upfront planning and jump straight into vendor-driven deployments.

Scope 9 • Section 2, Referenced Documents and Resources, identies the documents, surveys, and interviews conducted in developing the ConOps document. • Section 3, Current System or Situation, describes typical rural agency systems or situations as they currently exist.

10 Initiating the Systems Engineering Process for Rural Connected Vehicle Corridors Rural agencies are interested in deploying infrastructure to support connected vehicles to augment their existing ITS/Operations objectives. In most cases, agencies seek to improve safety and mobility while enhancing agency efficiency.

Scope 11 • Connected Vehicle Roadside Equipment represents the connected vehicle roadside devices that are used to send messages to, and receive messages from, nearby vehicles using Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) or other alternative wireless communications technologies (e.g., C-V2X)

12 Initiating the Systems Engineering Process for Rural Connected Vehicle Corridors include Maintenance Management Systems, Emergency Management/Public Safety Systems, Fleet and Freight Management Systems, Traveler Information Systems, Other Jurisdiction TMSs, Weather Service Systems, and Event Promoters. • Third-Party Service Providers include satellite service providers (e.g., SiriusXM)

Scope 13 Note to reader: If you are new to systems engineering, please note that the physical location of servers and details related to subsystems and components; how software is distributed across subsystems; and how communications will be addressed relate to system design and architecture. These items will be addressed later in the systems engineering process after the system requirements are developed.
