  12. SDP Production Cycle

  13. Downstream User: TRIPS123

  14. Automated Registration of SDP Documents FUTURE: Prototype Version

  15. High Level SDP Maintenance Requirements Description of General Requirements • Develop and maintain an inventory of programs, procedures and documentation needed for the successful use of the SDP by Transit Operators and technical staff • Identify standard, reoccurring maintenance activities and special or lower frequency maintenance events. Determine the timing of a standard maintenance cycle • Determine the roles and responsibilities for standard maintenance activities. • Determine the regional process for changing the requirements of the SDP and implementing them. The proposed steps in the process that need to be defined include the following: Submission, Evaluation, Revision, Final Approval and Rollout. • Identify the committee that supports the change process, including the membership, roles and responsibilities.

  16. High Level SDP Maintenance Requirements Determine the timing of a standard maintenance cycle • Identify a preliminary list of events and conditions that might trigger a need to update the SDP requirements. • Develop criteria for determining which updates, changes and ongoing maintenance activities can be fast tracked and completed by the project’s maintenance team, without proceeding through the full regional assessment and approval process. • Identify a mechanism for encouraging the submission of “lessons learned” and incorporating key points as appropriate into the SDP Users Manual and the SDP Maintenance Plan. • Develop a process for further delineating roles and responsibilities as the usage of the SDP expands, and as budgets, agencies and requirements change. • Maintain a Change Log, so the history and sequence of changes is understood and can support recovery of the system, if needed. • Ensure that the budget process supports the needed staffing, tools and training

  17. Update Procedures Submission Evaluation Revision Final Approval Rollout Plan

  18. SDP RSTWG Roles & Responsibilities • SDP RSTWG will review all proposed changes to the SDP Functional Requirements and related Implementation Methods (e.g., SDP XML Schema). • Changes will be approved by at least a 2/3rds majority of RSTWG members. If a member is not present, then they shall be given an additional week to vote on the Group’s approach to the change request. • A change request may be postponed to the next meeting. • A request for a significant change will necessitate a proposal to NYSDOT. A significant change is one deemed “significant” by the RSTWG.

  19. Events & Conditions that Trigger Changes • Needed by new or revised downstream applications • Errata or correction to previous version • SDP requirement changed or needed to be constrained, refined, or updated

  20. Criteria for Determining Update • Will not significantly impact the validity of previous SDP Schema versions (e.g., the change is “upwardly compatible”)

  21. Current Update Recommendationsfrom NGTSIP Wiki Page and other issues • Potential Issues • Multiple day types in Trip element • Schedule Calendar XML Schema • Pattern and short turn trips • Exact match of Pattern.eventList and Trip.tripTimeList
