The objectives of this two-year project are to define a framework for testing conformance to National Transportation Communications for ITS Protocol (NTCIP) standards, identify an approach to describe the extent to which testing is needed, and recommend the appropriate documentation for such testing activities. To meet the objectives, the first years report included a summary of past and current efforts by various groups and organizations, a description of available testing tools, and the results of a survey undertaken to understand Texas Department of Transportations (TxDOTs) testing process and needs. These topics were followed by discussions of the steps involved in conformance testing, how NTCIP requirements are specified, current TxDOT testing processes, reporting results, and the mapping of requirements to tests. The first years report concluded with an enumerated list of recommendations to establish a testing framework. This second year report looks at the details of testing documentation, provides estimates for developing test procedures for the various NTCIP-conformant field devices, discusses how to apply the procedures to the TxDOT testing processes, and presents an outline for training classes. The main portion of the report concludes with some additional recommendations to establish a testing framework. Appendices address modifications to TxDOT Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) specifications, a template for a TxDOT specification listing CCTV NTCIP requirements, a set of CCTV test procedures, test results reporting, miscellaneous communications test procedures, and a preliminary set of traffic signal controller procedures. / NOTE: Technical rept.
