CVISN Memo of Agreement

This is a basic agreement between the Departments of Highway safety and Motor Vehicles, Revenue and Transportation to cooperate in this federal program and work towards the deployment of CVISN in Florida.

Florida CVISN Business Plan

The CVISN Business Plan is a tool to guide the states future ITS/CVO and CVISN planning and deployment activities. The plan is a "living" document that requires updating over time as the states priorities, its information systems, or sources of funding change.

The purpose of the business planning effort was to:

• Outline the current regulatory processes associated with CVO in Florida;
• Identify a strategic direction for the states ITS/CVO and CVISN program;
• Recommend a program of ITS/CVO and CVISN projects for deployment;
• Define a management approach, budget, and schedule for the deployment of the program;
• Identify issues that will affect the implementation of the program; and
• Recommend strategies to overcome these issues and advance the program.

Florida CVISN Program Plan

The State Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks CVISN Program Plan establishes the management framework for the CVISN program. The development of the Program Plan precedes the development of specific project plans as outlined in the CVISN Business Plan. As the shape of the program emerges, projects are identified more clearly. The Program Plan gives the program team and upper management a picture of what the program is trying to accomplish

• How the work will be done
• What organizations will support the effort, and who the leaders will be
• What funding is needed and where it will come from
• Where the connections are across projects
• What integrated capability will be developed in each phase
• How to assess whether the program is on track

Florida CVISN Top-Level Design

The state's CVISN top-level design is the structure of the systems and interfaces within the state and the principles, operational concepts, scenarios, and standards that shape the structure. The top-level design process encompasses setting the scope of the CVISN program in the state, defining top-level requirements, allocating new requirements to new or existing systems, defining interfaces among systems, and describing the physical computers and networks that will support the systems. The top-level design also focuses on how to use or change the existing systems to support the CVISN operational concepts and scenarios.

The top-level design results in the definition of:

• User requirements
• System requirements
• Allocation of requirements to major system elements
• High-level interface specification
