Default Behaviors
SET-IT is project-based so you either have to:
Create a new project
Open an existing project
There are a number of options that a SET-IT user can establish and change in order to personalize the usage of the software. If you desire, you can set them as soon as SET-IT is opened. We will look at the options available and how to set them later in this module.
SET-IT is project-based so you must select a project in which to work. You can either create a new project or open an existing project. Let’s begin by looking at how to create a new project.

5. Creating a New Project SET-IT Tool Training June 2017
To create a new project, go to the Project tab. Then select New. In the Create New Project box, identify the name of the new project and a location for it. In the identified project location, SET-IT will then create a folder labeled with the project name in which all of the SET-IT project files including the drawing files, database file, and documents will be stored. Click OK to create the project and close the box.

6. SET-IT File Upgrade Process
SET-IT Tool Training
June 2017
SET-IT File Upgrade Process
Once a project exists, you can open it from the Project tab using the Open command.
When an existing project is opened in SET-IT, the version that was used to created the file is compared to the version being used to open the file. If the file was created with a previous version of SET-IT, SET-IT asks if you would like to convert the file to the new version. You may answer Yes to convert or No to cancel. If you convert, SET-IT displays the steps and progress of the conversion. During the process SET-IT may present you with some choices to make about how to convert certain objects. You will also be presented with a Conversion Report to view but you can also say, “Yes,” to save it as a text file for later. To complete the conversion, SET-IT synchronizes the information in the database and on the diagrams.
From the Project tab, you can also save the file, save it with a new name, close the project (and leave SET-IT open), print, obtain help, open a sample project, set options for SET-IT, learn about SET-IT and close the tool.

Menu
Work Area
The SET-IT window has a menu bar at the top. We refer to this menu as the main menu. On the right side of the bar are titlebar buttons to minimize, maximize and close the SET-IT window. SET-IT Help can be accessed from the button located below the titlebar buttons.
Below the menu bar are tabs which are used to access the features of SET-IT. The buttons on the ribbon below the tabs change depending upon the tab selected. We will look at all of the tabs and their related buttons in this module.
The majority of the SET-IT window contains the left menu and work area. The left menu is a unique way that SET-IT uses to organize the work for developing a connected vehicle project architecture. It is divided into two sections: the bottom section contains three menu options: Overview, Diagrams & Definitions. Selecting one of the menu options brings up a set of related buttons at the top of the left menu. Depending upon the menu and button selected in the left menu, various items of the architecture are displayed and can be modified in the work area.

9. Project Information SET-IT Tool Training June 2017
Once a project is opened, you are returned to the Home tab in the Project Information of the Overview, note the highlighted Project button and the Overview menu option in the left menu area. You can enter information such as a project description, start and end dates, geographic and service scope, developer and maintainer and version identifier.

10. Service Packages SET-IT Tool Training June 2017
Typically, SET-IT users will start by selecting one or more service packages that will be deployed in their project.
Service Packages are used to offer a convenient starting point for a SET-IT project. Recall from the ARC-IT training, a service package collects together several different physical objects (systems and devices) and their functional objects and information flows that provide the desired service. A transit service package, for instance, may have objects from the transit center, field equipment, and the transit vehicles as well as the information flows between them.
In SET-IT starting with service package offers a convenient way to start with a set of ideas and definitions that have already been documented that can then be customized for your project’s needs.
The Service Packages window has a listing of all 130 plus Service Packages from ARC-IT. You can use the “Search” tool at the bottom of the screen to enter a phrase like ‘signal’ and see a list of the service packages that relate to signal systems. Or you can use the column headings to sort by name, Type, Group, or area (traffic, traveler info, transit, etc). Since Service Packages can sometimes be in more than one type or group the Check boxes at the top are used to Combine the types and groups together.
You can uncheck those boxes if you only want to see, for instance “Mobility” type service packages that are in the “Transit” group.
Including an ARC-IT Service Package into a SET-IT project provides you a starting point to customize the service package for your project. It is strongly recommended that you begin with a relevant service package from ARC-IT. However, if there isn’t a relevant application, you can draw your own diagram in SET-IT. How to do so will be covered later in this module.

11. Including Service Packages
SET-IT Tool Training
June 2017
Including Service Packages
To see the description and diagram of an ARC-IT service package, highlight the service package on the list and the description and diagram are displayed on the right side of the window. To include a Service Package in the current project, select the checkbox of the Include column – do this for as many diagrams as you want to start with. Then click the Include button at the bottom. You may include multiple service packages in a project at the same time.
In the example shown, we included the Speed Harmonization service package.
Once the Include button is selected, each diagram available from ARC-IT per selected service package are added to the project. Additionally, the needs, which are statements that describe a problem or issue that is addressed by the functionality or capability provided by a service package, are added to the project.
After the service packages are included, the physical diagram for the first service package is displayed. We will discuss how to tailor a physical diagram shortly but before we do so, let’s look at the remaining buttons of the Overview menu.

12. Dashboard in SET-IT SET-IT Tool Training June 2017
The Dashboard button on the Overview menu is currently grayed out. In a future release of SET-IT, the dashboard will provide statistical information about the project architecture, for example, the number of service packages, elements, flows, etc.

13. Change Log in SET-IT SET-IT Tool Training June 2017
The last button on the Overview menu is the Change Log. The Change Log provides a place to list what changes were made to the architecture, when it was changed and by whom. The Change Log is not automated; you must manually make an entry when the architecture is revised.

14. Architecture Components in SET-IT
SET-IT Tool Training
June 2017
Architecture Components in SET-IT
Represented with:
Database tables
Diagrams
Three Views:
Physical
Enterprise (no automation in v8.0)
Communications
SET-IT uses a combination of database tables and diagrams to represent a project architecture. SET-IT makes use of Microsoft Visio to provide the underlying drawing surface and many of the tools to draw and edit your project diagrams.
A project architecture is also expressed from different views: physical, enterprise, and communications. In ARC-IT, the enterprise view covers the life cycle of the application from an institutional perspective. Currently (as of version 8.0), the enterprise view in SET-IT only supports manual diagram creation and manual selection of enterprise objects, resources, and relationships. An update in the near future will bring in the automated connections between enterprise and physical.
When you select a Service Package from the Overview menu you are selecting information from multiple aspects of ARC-IT including physical and enterprise objects along with definitions of the architecture components that make up those views.
Once a service package has been included in a project, it must be tailored for the project. To do so, you will use the Diagrams and Definitions menu options of the left menu. Let’s look at them now beginning with the Diagrams menu option.

15. Diagrams Menu SET-IT Tool Training June 2017
The Diagrams menu provides a list of the diagrams of the current view of the project whether imported from ARC-IT or created in SET-IT. Switching between views is accomplished by selecting the view from the ribbon on the Home or Diagram tab.
SET-IT opens the physical diagram when a service package is added to a project.
The Left Menu shows the list of diagrams included in the project.

16. Diagrams Menu Functions
SET-IT Tool Training
June 2017
Diagrams Menu Functions
Diagram Sorting
Diagram Functions
Rename
Delete
You can sort the list of diagrams in the left menu by right-clicking in any empty area around the diagram names. A context menu will appear giving you the choice of sorting by the name of the diagram, either ascending or descending, or by the layer and then the name, also either ascending or descending. This is useful when you have a large project with many diagrams.
For an individual diagram, you can rename, copy or delete it by right-clicking on the diagram name in the left menu. Note that renaming a diagram of a service package will rename the diagrams of other views for the same service package. For example, if you rename a physical diagram for a service package, the enterprise diagram for that service package will be renamed. However, deleting a diagram doesn’t impact the diagrams of the other views – unless you direct it to. Copying a diagram is no longer permitted in SET-IT.

17. Diagrams Features SET-IT Tool Training June 2017
To open a diagram, click on the name of the diagram in the left menu. When a diagram is open, there is a stencil on the left that allows items to be quickly added to a diagram. You can select an item from the stencil and drag and drop it onto a diagram. The diagram is displayed to the right on a grid where it can be edited.
Physical and enterprise diagrams for a project either need to be created from scratch or tailored for the project from the ARC-IT Service Package diagrams. It is important to tailor one of the views before tailoring the other view. Let’s begin by looking at how to tailor a physical diagram. (for version 8.0 you can only tailor physical view diagrams).

18. Communications Element
SET-IT Tool Training
June 2017
Physical View Shapes
Communications Element
This page shows the types of shapes that you may see on a Physical Diagram at some point.
Physical Objects – once they are customized become Elements and are color coded based on their Physical Object Class. Centers are green, Field elements are orange, Vehicle based devices are blue, traveler based devices are yellow, Support systems are olive, and Humans take on the color of the class of object they are operating and have a person shape in the bottom left of the box. Communications elements, e.g. a data distribution system will be colored like a Support class system but will have rounded corners.
Functional objects – boxes inside Physical Objects or Elements that represent the functionality of that object are shaded based on their deployment status. White for near term, darker for longer term.
Information flows – lines between Physical Objects or Elements will have various means to show the flow characteristics. Flow Security is shown with color: black for ‘in-the-clear’ or no security needed, Blue for encrypted but without any authenticability of the sender, Green for no encryption but yes to authenticability (usually with a digital signature), and Red for encrypted and authenticated.
Flow Control is shown with a box to indicate which party initiates the transaction or a vertical hash to indicate that a receipt of acknowledgement is needed. Cardinality as in how it’s sent shows whether it is sent to one, multiple at the same time, or broadcast to anyone.
Flow Status is shown using lines from solid to dashed or dotted.
A Flow’s Time Context is shown with a number – 1 for Now, 2 for Recent, 3 for Historical, 4 for Static (never changes)
A Flow’s Spatial Context is shown with a letter – A for Adjacent (in the same device or approximate to it), B for Local, C for regional or municipal, D for Nation wide, E for Continental.
A Flow may also be routed through a communications system like a data distribution system or a wide area information disseminator. This routing will be represented with a “(d)” on the flow name since the communications system or data distribution system may not be on the diagram.
A Terminal may also be used to show short cuts to other parts of the diagram.
Comment clouds can also be added to the diagram along with white rectangles for Notes boxes.

19. SET-IT Tool Training

Physical View
Defines the physical objects that interact with each other to deliver ITS services
Components include:
Elements
Functional objects
Information flows
Information flows, shown as arrows of various types and colors depending upon several characteristics, define the direction-specific flow of information between elements.

20. Tailoring Physical Diagrams
SET-IT Tool Training
June 2017
Tailoring Physical Diagrams
Define elements and map them to physical objects
Define information flows between elements
To tailor a physical diagram, you need to define elements including their functional objects, map the elements to physical objects and define the information flows between the elements.
In most cases, an element represents an instance of a physical object from ARC-IT; but, if your project includes unique functions not defined in ARC-IT you will need to create a new physical object, see the SET-IT help for instructions on how to do so.
Once the elements involved are defined, the information that they share has to be defined.

21. Tailoring Elements, Shapes
SET-IT Tool Training
June 2017
Tailoring Elements, Shapes
Double-click a shape
Or highlight and select Shape Properties
Click New to open Element Details for a new Element
When service package(s) are selected and a physical diagram is created, it contains one rectangle, for each physical object. To show that the elements are generic and have not been tailored, the element name is italicized and in parentheses.
To tailor an element for the project, select it by double-clicking on it or by right clicking on it and selecting Shape Properties. The Shape Properties window opens. The Shape Properties window allows you to map to an existing element or create a new element. To create a new element select the New button. This opens the Element Details form in which you can define the element name, description, an abbreviation, status, class and type, map the element to physical object(s) and assign the stakeholder for various roles (e.g., who owns and who operates the element). For details on tailoring an element, including tips, see the SET-IT help.

22. Tailoring Elements, Shape Properties
SET-IT Tool Training
June 2017
Tailoring Elements, Shape Properties
When service package(s) are selected and a physical diagram is created, it contains one element, drawn as a rectangle, for each physical object. To show that the elements are generic and have not been tailored, the element name is italicized and in parentheses.
The Shape Properties window for a Physical Object allows you to map that shape to an existing element or create a new element. To create a new element select the New button. This opens the Element Details form in which you can define the element name, description, an abbreviation, status, and assign the stakeholder for various roles (e.g., who owns and who operates the element). Class, Type, and the mapping of the element to physical object(s) will be inherited from what’s on Shape Properties off the diagram.
For details on tailoring an element, including tips, see the SET-IT help.

23. Tailoring Elements (cont.)
SET-IT Tool Training
June 2017
Tailoring Elements (cont.)
If an element on the diagram is not involved in the project, it can be deleted. To delete an element, select the element then press the delete key, right-click on the element and select delete from the menu, or use the Cut option on the clipboard on the ribbon. If you accidently delete an element, there is an undo option on the main menu or you can use the (Ctrl + Z) shortcut. Note that there is also a redo option on the menu.
As the elements involved in the project are tailored in the physical diagrams, SET-IT does not revise the enterprise diagrams so those diagrams will need to be modified separately. We will look at tools in SET-IT that can be used to modify the enterprise diagrams later in this module.
SET-IT integrates drawing and database tools to create an architecture so after a diagram is revised, the revisions need to be updated in the database. This process is referred to as synchronization in SET-IT.

24. Synchronization Or… Update database to match diagrams
SET-IT Tool Training
June 2017
Synchronization
Update database to match diagrams
Or…
Since SET-IT stores a project architecture as diagrams and a database, it is important to ensure that the two stay in sync. To assist in this, SET-IT synchronizes the database and diagrams as changes are made on one. This runs automatically whenever a change is made.
There is also a Synchronize button on the Home tab and, if a diagram is opened, also on the Diagram tab, it allows you to compare the diagrams and the database and update one to reflect the changes, such as name changes, new flows, etc., made in the other.
There are two options to synchronize: update database to match diagrams or update diagrams to match database. Which you need to do depends on where you have been making changes.
In our case, we have revised a diagram so we will select Update database to match diagrams.
If you don’t notice that Synchronize has run automatically or if you know you made a change on the database previously then use the Manual Sync button to make sure that the diagrams and tables are in sync so your outputs will reflect your tailoring activities.
Update diagrams to match database

25. Tailoring Functional Objects
SET-IT Tool Training
June 2017
Tailoring Functional Objects
To complete the tailoring of an element, its functional objects need to be tailored. Functional objects are functional subsets of a physical object that define specifically the functionality and interfaces that are required to support a particular ITS service package. On diagrams, functional objects are represented as the smaller boxes within physical objects and can change color based on their deployment status.
Functional objects can have their description modified, have their status changed, or be deleted altogether. If a project has unique functions, a functional object can be defined for those functions. See the SET-IT Help for instructions on tailoring functional objects.
In the example shown here, if the project does not include the DOT using equipment on the roadway to do its basic surveillance, but will rely on probe data from vehicles, the related functional object, Roadway Basic Surveillance of the State DOT ITS Roadway Equipment, should be deleted. Unfortunately, SET-IT cannot automatically adjust the diagram but you can manually move and resize objects easily.
Once revisions are made on the diagram, remember to synchronize to make sure to transfer the revisions into the database.

26. Tailoring Information Flows
SET-IT Tool Training
June 2017
Tailoring Information Flows
Opening the Shape Properties for a flow (by double-clicking on it or by right-clicking on it and opening its properties), the status and communications characteristics of information flows can be modified. The status of a flow has to do with the timeline of deployment – whether this interface already exists (i.e., is existing), is part of the project you are architecting (i.e., is in project), or might be a new concept that a future project might want to consider (i.e., is a Future or new opportunity). The line style of the flow varies by status value.

27. Information Flow Characteristics
SET-IT Tool Training
June 2017
Information Flow Characteristics
The selected flow characteristics are represented on the diagram as different communication symbols with the flow name to indicate the timing and spatial context requirements. The time context requirements of a flow are expressed as a number:
1 = Now (i.e., something needed in near real-time such as a intersection movement indicator from another vehicle),
2 = Recent (i.e., something used to understand the current situation such as traffic flow data at an intersection),
3 = Historical (i.e., something that has already happened such as transit ridership numbers for an archive) and
4 = Static (i.e., something that doesn’t change or doesn’t change very often such as the text of a roadside sign).
The time context is then followed by a letter indicating the flow’s spatial context:
A = Adjacent (i.e., something very close to where it is needed such as data within the onboard systems of a vehicle),
B = Local (i.e., something to be used in close proximity of where the data was created such as an intersection controller),
C = Regional (i.e., something used by the surrounding region such as traffic flow data along a freeway corridor),
D = National (i.e., something used by the entire country such as a nationwide emergency message) and
E = Continental (i.e., something used wherever connected vehicles exist such as an application update).
The color of the line for the flow varies based upon the timing and spatial context requirements.
Additional communications characteristics that can be entered include whether the flow is acknowledged, encrypted, and/or authenticated, its cardinality (i.e., whether it is unicast, broadcast or multicast), and the element that initiates the flow. See the SET-IT Help for more information on flow characteristics.

28. Tailoring Information Flows
SET-IT Tool Training
June 2017
Tailoring Information Flows
Flows can be copied and flows that are not relevant to the project can be deleted. Sometimes SET-IT may not have the information flow you need. The database that comes with SET-IT contains over 700 information flows based on the physical view of ARC-IT. But as the transportation technology evolves, new projects are bound to have interfaces that are new and unique. You can create new information flows in SET-IT by dragging and dropping an information flow feature onto a diagram from the stencil on the left or via the menus. See the SET-IT Help for details on creating user-defined information flows.
As flows are tailored, SET-IT cannot re-draw the diagram so the diagram will need to be manually edited to accommodate necessary adjustments. We will look at tools to assist in modifying diagrams later in this module.

29. Adding Notes & Comments
SET-IT Tool Training
June 2017
Adding Notes & Comments
Comments or Notes can be added to your diagram to clarify why certain elements or flows are included. There is a Notes button on the stencil on the left. Select it, drag it and drop it onto the diagram where desired. To add the text of the note, select the note by double-clicking on it. In the Shape Properties window that opens, type the text and select the refresh button (i.e., the button with two arrows forming a circle) to add the text to the diagram. Close the window to return to the diagram.
You can also add comments to a diagram in the same fashion using the Comments button on the stencil. Notes are contained in white rectangles while comments are shown in a gray cloud.

30. Title Block SET-IT Tool Training June 2017
All of the diagrams in SET-IT include a title block. The information in the title block contains basic information about the diagram including the name of the application, a version number for the diagram, the date it was created or edited, and the initials of who edited it. With the exception of the name of the application, the information in the title block starts with the information provided on the project button of the Overview menu. If you want to revise the information, you can do so from the Project button of the Overview option in the left menu.
From the Diagram menu, in the Title Block area of the ribbon, you can click the Update button. SET-IT will prompt you that this action will increment the version number, update the date to today’s date, and update the initials in the lower right box to match the initials that were provided in the Overview/Project window.

31. Adding a Legend SET-IT Tool Training June 2017
A legend is useful on an architecture diagram to identify the codes, styles and colors used. To add a legend, select the Legend from the stencil on the left, drag it into the drawing area and drop it where the legend is desired. Resize the legend appropriately. The legend itself can be modified. You can select the smaller boxes inside the Legend and move them around to make the legend fit better on the diagrams.

32. Creating Higher Level Physical Diagrams
SET-IT Tool Training
June 2017
Creating Higher Level Physical Diagrams
Layer 0 diagrams
Shows physical elements & interconnects
Layer 1 diagrams
Shows combined set of physical elements and all of their functional objects and interconnects
For Layer 1 diagrams, SET-IT uses the Layer 2 diagrams that you choose and displays the combined set of physical elements and all of their functional objects that are needed to support the various service packages in which they are included. Layer 1 diagrams also include interconnects between elements.
Typically, you will want to create a Layer 0 or Layer 1 diagram after the Layer 2 service package-level diagrams are completed since SET-IT uses the Layer 2 diagrams to generate the higher layer diagrams.
SET-IT will place the elements on a Layer 0 or Layer 1 diagram and will draw the lines as best it can. In many cases, you may need to rearrange the lines and elements to look presentable and legible.
A Layer 0 or 1 diagram can be created from scratch in SET-IT which may be helpful to sketch ideas out, but, please beware as synchronization may not be able to be maintained between layers. For instance, drawing an interconnect as encrypted at Layer 0 may end up with specific information flows in Layer 2 with different characteristics. SET-IT has some validation tools, that we will look at later in this module, to help but it may still be a difficult process.

33. SET-IT Tool Training
June 2017
Creating a Layer 1
After the Layer 2 or Service Package level diagrams have been customized
New / Diagram / Layer 1
Enter a Name and select Layer 2 Diagrams to include
Creating a Layer 1 Drawing should be done once each of the Layer 2 or Service Package level diagrams have been customized. This is so SET-IT can read the triples and the associated functional objects associated with each element of the combined set of service packages to be able to know which interconnects to show.
From the New area of the menubar, click the Diagram pull-down and select Layer 1.
In the New Diagram screen give it a name and select one or more of the Layer 2 diagrams to use to generate the Layer 1. A project can have multiple Layer 1s.
Click OK and this will start the process of adding a new Layer 1 diagram. This may take a few seconds or up to a minute or more depending on how many diagrams were selected.

34. Edit the Layer 1 SET-IT Tool Training June 2017
SET-IT generates a Layer 1 by combining all of an element’s functional objects into one shape and then placing the elements automatically that places centers on the left, mobile and vehicle equipment on the right and field in the middle. The resulting diagram may be larger than one sheet and will require editing and manipulation to get it to look the way you want.

35. SET-IT Tool Training
June 2017
Creating a Layer 0
After the Layer 2 or Service Package level diagrams have been customized
New / Diagram / Layer 0
Enter a Name and deselect any Layer 2 Diagrams to exclude
Note: you do not have to have a Layer 1 before creating a Layer 0
Creating a Layer 0 Drawing should also be done once each of the Layer 2 or Service Package level diagrams have been customized. This is so SET-IT can read the triples and the associated functional objects associated with each element of the combined set of service packages to be able to know which interconnects to show.
From the New area of the menubar, click the Diagram pull-down and select Layer 0.
In the New Diagram screen give it a name and select the Layer 2 diagrams to use to generate the Layer 0. A project can have multiple Layer 0s. Layer 0s are assumed to include all service packages but you can deselect diagrams if you want.
Click OK and this will start the process of adding a new Layer 0 diagram. This may take a few seconds or up to a minute or more depending on how many diagrams were selected.

36. Edit the Layer 0 SET-IT Tool Training June 2017
SET-IT generates a Layer 0 by placing the elements automatically in a way that places centers on the left, mobile and vehicle equipment on the right and field in the middle. The resulting diagram may be larger than one sheet and will require editing and manipulation to get it to look the way you want.
You may also notice the time and spatial context values look like they have multiple values. They do if the flows that make up those interconnects on the Layer 2 diagrams had varying values for time or spatial context.

37. SET-IT Tool Training

Enterprise View
Describes the relationships between organizations and the roles those organizations play in delivering ITS services
Components include:
Enterprise objects
Resources
Relationships including
Agreements,
Expectations,
Roles and Includes
While the physical view defines the physical objects that interact with each other to deliver ITS service packages, the enterprise view describes the relationships between organizations and the roles those organizations play in delivering the ITS service packages. The key questions to be understood by the development of an enterprise view for a project include “Who owns or who operates what components of the overall system?” and “How are they related to each other?”
Includes, represented by black lines with an open diamond at one end, represent a relationship between resources. This type of relationship may also be labeled extends or satisfies depending on the situation.

38. Enterprise vs. Physical Components

Information flows
Components of the enterprise view are not independent of the physical view. Stakeholders in the physical view are enterprise objects. Physical objects are resources in the enterprise view. Information flows of the physical view are agreements or expectations in the enterprise view.
Again, it is best to tailor the components of one view for an application before tailoring the other view so the common components are defined in one view and can be reused in the other view.

39. SET-IT Tool Training

Enterprise View in 8.0
With version 8.0 of ARC-IT the Enterprise View is someone incomplete
Enterprise Objects and Resources are defined
No new Diagrams are included
Relationships and connections with Physical are complete only to the degree necessary to support CVRIA project migration.
ARC-IT Enterprise View will be published in a future release
For SET-IT, that means you can draw your own diagrams but you cannot use the AutoPopulate tools to build Enterprise from Physical

40. Enterprise Diagrams (8.0)
SET-IT Tool Training
June 2017
Enterprise Diagrams (8.0)
To display the enterprise view, select Enterprise on the View section of the ribbon on the Home tab or, if a diagram is opened, on the Diagram tab. To view an enterprise diagram, select the Diagrams menu of the left menu and select the diagram for the desired application from the list at the top of the left menu.
At first you will see a blank screen because with 8.0 no diagrams are included.
Use the New / Diagram pull-down at the top and select a Layer 2 to get started
When the diagram opens, note that the stencil available on the left has changed. It now contains the components of the enterprise view but still contains common diagram items including note, comment, legend and title block. These items can be added to and revised on an enterprise diagram in the same fashion as on a physical diagram.

41. New Enterprise Diagram (8.0)

New Enterprise Diagram (8.0)
When the diagram opens, note that the stencil available on the left has changed. It now contains the components of the enterprise view but still contains common diagram items including note, comment, legend and title block. These items can be added to and revised on an enterprise diagram in the same fashion as on a physical diagram.

43. Adding Enterprise Objects (v8.0)
SET-IT Tool Training
June 2017
Adding Enterprise Objects (v8.0)
First, Enterprise Objects are added to the diagram.
Enterprise Objects (or Eobjects) are colored just like the Pobject classes – green for center, orange for field, etc.
Drag the appropriate EObject shape from the stencil onto the drawing surface and double-click to open shape properties.
With 8.0, the connections to Physical aren’t automatic so you have to first associate the EObject shape with an EObject using the pull-down at the bottom of the screen.
8.0 includes a generic Enterprise Object for every role for every resource in ARC-IT v8.
In the example above, scroll down to find Traffic Operations Personnel as the Eobject associated with operating a TMC.
Then you can select a stakeholder for that shape.
Before you begin defining your Project in SET-IT the project’s stakeholders will need to be identified for all of the enterprise objects.
Thankfully, since the stakeholders should have been identified in the physical view as elements were created they are available to be chosen for the enterprise objects.

44. Enterprise Diagrams – Resources (v8.0)

Enterprise Diagrams – Resources (v8.0)
For version 8 – this diagram will need to be completed manually. A Future version will provide a mapping between the enterprise and the physical.

45. Adding New Resources SET-IT Tool Training June 2017
As you add Resources to your drawing SET-IT will ask if you wish to add a corresponding Physical Object to the physical diagram. You may, if you are starting from scratch and haven’t yet added this to your physical drawing. If you know a TMC is already on the drawing is in our example of the Variable Speed Limits then just say No to this.
Currently, ARC-IT’s Enterprise View does not include definitions for Resources that correspond to the Physical View’s Functional Object. This will be in a future release.

46. Enterprise – Roles (V8.0) SET-IT Tool Training June 2017
The Next step in Enterprise is to assign Roles between the Enterprise Objects (Stakeholders) and the Resources (Elements). Drag a Role from the stencil and connect it between an Eobject and a Resource. Then in Shape Properties pick from one of the pre-defined Roles (owns and operates are the most common).

47. Enterprise - Agreements

Enterprise - Agreements
Next, add agreements between the Stakeholders. Drag a red line for agreements – either one directional or Bi-Directional onto the drawing. Connect the 2 ends to 2 stakeholders. In Shape Properties use the ARC-IT Agreements pull-down to select a pre-defined agreement from ARC-IT.
Then Click New to define a new customized agreement for your project and for those stakeholders that is associated with that type of ARC-IT Agreement.
You can also do this same process to capture an Expectation (informal agreement) between stakeholders as drivers ‘expect’ accurate traveler information from their DOT.
