This report describes the System Requirement Specifications (SyRS) for a Freight Advanced Traveler Information System

(FRATIS). The SyRS is based on user needs described in the FRATIS Concept of Operations (ConOps), which cover the essential

functions of freight-specific travel planning, dynamic routing, performance measurement, and drayage optimization described

therein.

The SyRS describes the purpose, context, modes and states, capabilities, conditions, constraints, assumptions, and system and

interface requirements of a generic FRATIS system. Requirement classifications pertain to system performance, security,

information management, operations, and interfaces. Information management requirements are further subdivided into trip pre-planning, congestion avoidance dynamic routing, OSOW routing and permitting, real-time roadway information, weather

conditions, public data, freight terminal queue delay, and container load-matching functional areas. Interface requirements cover

both user and system (traffic management, trucking company, intermodal terminal, freight, load-matching, parking, and State

OSOW routing and permitting) interfaces to the FRATIS system.

The SyRS also includes a traceability matrix linking each requirement to associated user needs and operational scenarios. This

SyRS is intended as a foundational document for describing FRATIS system requirements – regional deployments will build upon

these requirements, tailoring them for their specific deployment needs, and communicate their requirements to system developers

and integrators.
