Research and Innovative Technology AdministrationIntelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office;Federal Highway AdministrationThis 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 essentialfunctions of freight-specific travel planning, dynamic routing, performance measurement, and drayage optimization describedtherein.The SyRS describes the purpose, context, modes and states, capabilities, conditions, constraints, assumptions, and system andinterface 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, weatherconditions, public data, freight terminal queue delay, and container load-matching functional areas. Interface requirements coverboth user and system (traffic management, trucking company, intermodal terminal, freight, load-matching, parking, and StateOSOW 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. ThisSyRS is intended as a foundational document for describing FRATIS system requirements \u2013 regional deployments will build uponthese requirements, tailoring them for their specific deployment needs, and communicate their requirements to system developersand integrators
