This report outlines the technical and other considerations (e.g., processes, information technology, staffing) needed for executing a transition between versions of a traffic management system (TMS) or specific subsystems (e.g., software, computing hardware). The practices and methods captured in this report can assist agencies when they plan, design, procure, develop, implement, test, operate, and evaluate improvements to TMSs. This report may be of interest to representatives from State departments of transportation, local agencies, metropolitan planning organizations, regional authorities, toll authorities, and other groups engaged in transitioning from a current TMS to a new version, replacing a subsystem of a TMS, or adding new subsystems or capabilities to an existing TMS.
