Since roles & responsibilities defines the roles and responsibilities ofthe stakeholders in delivering ITS services, the ITS stakeholders must be listed and the services selected, before any roles & responsibilities can be entered in RAD-IT. Stakeholders were discussed in Module 4, inventory of ITS elements in Module 5 and selecting ITS service in Module 6 of this course.

US DOT’s Intelligent Transportation System Architecture and Standards Final Rule/Policy states that roles & responsibilities “… identifies the roles and responsibilities of participating agencies and stakeholders in the operation and implementation of the systems included in the regional ITS architecture.” So an operational concept defines ITS roles and responsibilities from a stakeholder's perspective.

A stakeholder performs a function in support of delivering a transportation service in a region. The stakeholder’s role denotes their “function” in ITS. An example of a stakeholder’s role is “traffic manager”.
The stakeholder’s responsibilities are the duties or obligations to deliver ITS service(s). Responsibilities of a traffic manager might be controlling traffic sensors and surveillance and providing current traffic conditions to other agencies.

Since roles & responsibilities focuses on the roles and responsibilities of stakeholders, everyone knows where the stakeholders “fit in” to the region, what their roles will be, and what is expected from them ,when roles & responsibilities are assigned to them. This allows:
• Identification of integration opportunities, between agencies and stakeholders.
• Determination of how a particular service will be implemented, including scenarios that are important in a region or project.
For example: For signal preemption, the emergency vehicle interacts directly with field equipment. The emergency dispatch talks to traffic management center who in turn, controls its field equipment.
• Stakeholders to clearly understand their duties as roles & responsibilities is written in language the stakeholders understand. It isn’t written using “architecture terms” which may be unfamiliar to the stakeholder.

Creating roles & responsibilities in RAD-IT is a two step process.
Step 1 is to select Role and Responsibility Areas which are based on the ITS services included in the architecture. Then for each selected area, the stakeholders involved in the area must be selected.
Step 2 is to record actual roles and responsibilities of the stakeholders in the area.
Let’s look at the steps in more detail.

When Autoselect is selected, the Autoselect Roles and Responsibilities window opens. It provides options to control the Autoselect process. Once the settings are selected, select Continue. (Click to display new window.)
RAD-IT recommends a set of Role and Responsibility areas based on the selected ITS services. You are able to review the areas to decide whether to add them or not.
RAD-IT names the areas based on the generic Role & Responsibility Area name (e.g., Surface Street Management) and the architecture name (e.g., Marinara County). This allows the same default areas to be used for both regional and project architectures.
The default Role & Responsibility Areas in RAD-IT are: Archived Data Systems, Commercial Vehicle Operations, Electronic Toll Collection, Emergency Management, Freeway Management, Incident Management, Maintenance and Construction, Parking Management, Surface Street Management, Transit Services and Traveler Information.
To complete the Autoselect, you select the Yes button to add the areas or the No button to cancel.
Image Description: Three screen captures from RAD-IT are shown that illustrate the steps that RAD-IT follows when the Autoselect button is clicked. The first shows a portion of a screen capture of RAD-IT with the Autoselect button highlighted with an oval. An arrow leads from this screen capture to the second screen capture. The second screen capture shows the first Autoselect Roles and Responsibilities dialog box, and an oval highlights the Continue button. An arrow leads from the second screen capture to the third screen capture. The third screen capture shows the second Autoselect Roles and Responsibilities dialog box.

For a R&R area whether created manually or with Autoselect, you can:
• Revise the area name,
• Add a description,
• Revise Service Package selections,
• Select stakeholders involved in the area and
• Associate the area with projects.
Image Description: A screen capture of RAD-IT is shown with the Roles & Responsibilities tab selected. The screen capture is annotated with arrows and text identifying text entry fields for Role and Responsibility Area name and description; and selection lists for service packages, stakeholders, and projects.

To record roles & responsibilities, select a stakeholder in one of the areas from the list on the left side of the tab and, the right side will change so roles & responsibilities can be entered. When a role & responsibility is entered in a box on the right, a new empty box is added so another role & responsibility can be added. Each role & responsibility can be assigned status as shown in the screen capture.
In the example shown, Marinara County Department of Public Workshas 3 roles & responsibilities for the Incident Management for Marinara County Role & Responsibility Area.
Once roles & responsibilities have been entered, a RR icon will be displayed next to the stakeholder name beneath the corresponding Role & Responsibility Area in the list on the left. This completes roles & responsibilities in RAD-IT.
