ABSTRACT: This presentation discusses the value of Systems Engineering and how we apply them to Transportation Systems in California. What is systems engineering (SE)? What do we mean by value and what determines value? Some examples of transportation problems from the Department of California Transportation (CALTRANS) shall be presented to show the importance of performing the rigors of systems engineering and applying the SE V-Model in order to gain value to transportation projects.
BIOGRAPHY: Randy Woolley, CSEP, PE, retired from Caltrans Division of Research, Innovation and System Information (DRISI) as the Chief of the Systems Engineering Branch. Randy managed the team that developed the Systems Engineering Guidebook (SEGB) for ITS Projects and was a contributing author and final approver for the document. The SEGB V3.0 is hosted at http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/cadiv/segb/. Randy led DRISI to integrate systems engineering into main stream transportation research and completed several research projects using the “Vee” model for that research. Randy is active in the development and presentation of training in systems engineering, system integration, and configuration management and is an instructor for the four SE courses for the University of California, Irvine Extension. Randy has 26 years of experience in the electronics industry including systems engineering, design, manufacturing, project management and research.
