Welcome to the introduction to the SET-IT Tool training.

This training is designed for transportation professionals that want to understand how to use SET-IT tool to create and maintain project architectures. The training discusses how to use SET-IT Tool and provides a basic overview of the tools that have been developed to support ARC-IT use.

SET-IT Tool Training

This training is presented in six modules:

Module 1 provides background necessary to understand the SET-IT Training,

Module 2 introduces the SET-IT Tool,

Module 3 provides a walkthrough of the SET-IT Tool,

Module 4 continues the walkthrough of the SET-IT Tool,

Module 5 illustrates the development of a basic connected vehicle project using SET-IT, and

Module 6 explores additional topics of using the SET-IT Tool.

It will take approximately 2½ hours to complete the entire course.

SET-IT Tool Training

The training page of the new ARC-IT website includes 3 online courses. Go to the ARC-IT website, click the Resources link and the Training page.

This training course provides an introduction to the SET-IT tool.

There is are 2 companion courses – the first introduces the Architecture Reference for Cooperative and Intelligent Transportation (ARC-IT). ARC-IT is the reference architecture upon which SET-IT is based. This course provides an overview of the website and how the architecture is organized.

The 2nd companion course is an introduction to the Regional Architecture Development tool for Intelligent Transportation (RAD-IT). RAD-IT is a software tool to develop regional ITS architectures.

SET-IT Tool Training

To develop and deploy the intelligent transportation systems that will realize the desired objectives, we need to use a common language so that the supporting systems present consistent communications and services no matter where the mobile devices are located or what agency is deploying the system applications. This presents complexity not only within the technology domain but institutionally as well. ARC-IT facilitates a common language for ITS stakeholders to define, design, develop and deploy transportation system applications. It models the ITS functions and communications so we can all understand how the pieces fit together and what dependencies exist.

SET-IT Tool Training

Besides providing a common language, the purpose of ARC-IT is to establish a framework for ITS deployment. ARC-IT was developed by identifying ITS,including connected vehicle, needs and requirements, developing a multi-faceted architecture that addresses those needs, and using that architecture to prioritize candidate interfaces for standardization.

SET-IT Tool Training

ARC-IT development followed the ISO/IEC/IEEE standard 42010-2011 for Systems and Software Engineering – Architecture Description. This led to the definition of four views of ITS. An important view of ARC-IT is the enterprise view which defines how the applications are carried out. The functional view defines the functional foundation of the architecture that satisfies the connected vehicle requirements. The most familiar view of ARC-IT is the physical view which groups the functionality into physical objects that establish the interfaces for ITS. Finally, the communications view identifies the communication protocols needed to implement ITS.

The SET-IT tool focuses on using both the enterprise, physical, and communications views to develop ITS project architectures.

SET-IT Tool Training

ARC-IT is available at www.arc-it.net. It is highly recommended that you become familiar with the ARC-IT content on the website before taking this SET-IT training.

SET-IT Tool Training

ARC-IT addresses over 130 service packages in the areas of environmental, mobility, safety and support. Much like the Regional Architecture tool, RAD-IT, is used to tailor the National ITS Architecture or ARC-IT content, the SET-IT tool is used to tailor the ARC-IT content for project levels. The ARC-IT physical,communications, and enterprise view are central to tailoring and developing connected vehicle applications using the SET-IT tool.

SET-IT Tool Training

In order to maximize your use of SET-IT, it is essential to have a working knowledge of which of the following?

A. Connected vehicle history,

B. ITS policy objectives,

C. ARC-IT content and/or

D. DOT rule-making.

SET-IT Tool Training

Although it may be useful to understand the history of connected vehicles as well as ITS policy objectives and rule-making, it is essential that you understand the ARC-IT reference architecture content in order to maximize your use of the SET-IT tool for project architectures. Take advantage of the ARC-IT training available from the same website as this training (www.arc-it.net).

SET-IT Tool Training

You should now have a basic understanding of the background needed to use the SET-IT tool. This background includes knowledge of the referencearchitecture, ARC-IT. The main takeaway for this module is realizing that SET-IT allows for customization or tailoring of the ARC-IT content for your ITS projectdeployments.
