    Systems Engineering in Transportation Projects A Library of Case Studies Produced by the INCOSE Transportation Working Group Issue 7.0, December 6th, 2014 1 Systems Engineering in Transportation Projects: A Library of Case Studies Introduction The Transportation Working Group has recognized that there is a need on the part of practicing systems engineers for a library of case studies of the application (or sometimes the lack of application) of Systems Engineering (SE) to transportation projects in order to learn from the experiences of others and to make a case for investing in SE. This document contains such a library. This library will grow over time as we add further case studies. We hope that, as it grows, clear themes will emerge that the reader may discern and turn to advantage on their own project, even if it differs in some significant respects from the projects described below. In this issue, there are thirteen transportation case studies: 1. West Coast Route Modernisation Project in the UK 2. SkyTrain control center upgrade and expansion in Vancouver, Canada 3. Prestwick Air Traffic Control Centre in the UK 4. Docklands Light Railway Expansion in London, UK 5. NETLIPSE, a European research project studying large infrastructure projects 6. Upgrade of the East London Line in London, UK 7. Santa Clara County Traffic Operations System and Signal Coordination Project in the USA 8. Extension of the Jubilee Line in London, UK 9. Upgrade of the Jubilee Line and Northern Line in London, UK 10. Replacement of the CityLink Control System in Melbourne, Australia 11. Network Rail Performance Modeling in the UK 12.
