2007 - October - Davey - Applying Systems Engineering to Optimise Victoria's Public Transport Services | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Kevin DaveyBE, MSc, MIEAust Department of Infrastructure, Victoria The Department of Infrastructure has used a systems engineering approach to develop a strategy and architecture for overhauling the various public transport technology systems, with the promise of extracting significant asset efficiency gains as well as a range of other benefits to customers. This paper examines the strategic context of public transport systems development and describes the process being undertaken to evolve the strategy in an environment of constant change and determine effective engineering solutions. An iterative architectural development process is described which provides a planning platform to scope future public transport systems development projects. Application of the strategy and architecture to a sample systems project is also described. |
