- Description
- The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has a need to develop a two-day training course on that presents the configuration management (CM) issues and recommended practices for agencies to consider in the planning, development of plans, and preparation for the actual management of travel, control of traffic, and provision of services related to traffic management systems. CM is the practice of handling changes systematically so that a system maintains its integrity over time. CM involves the policies, procedures, techniques and tools to: manage, evaluate proposed changes, track the status of changes, and to maintain an inventory of system and support documents as the system changes. CM programs and plans provide the technical and administrative direction to the development and implementation the procedures, functions, services, tools, processes and resources that are required to support a traffic management system. The need for and use of CM plans has increased significantly because of the rapid deployment of ITS projects and the development of traffic management systems. Many agencies are unaware of the need for, importance, and value of CM programs and plans to the continued operation and maintenance of their systems. CM standards and recommended practices have been developed and are being used in other industries to successfully plan, design, implement, manage, and maintain complex systems similar to traffic management systems. The document titled CM for Traffic Management Systems will serve as the technical reference for this course. The complete draft of this document will be available in August of 2002 with a final version available in the November of 2002. Individual chapters were made available starting in June of 2002.
