The effective development and deployment of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) requires efficient interaction between systems and between organizations. The lack, in the ITS area, of a generally accepted international framework for the system level and for the organizational level leads to increased cost, delays, and defective systems. Systems Engineering provides the tools to deal with this situation. This paper presents an overview of the international standard for Systems Engineering, ISO/IEC 15288, and how architectural frameworks can be used to standardize system architectures. The application of ISO/IEC 15288 in ProRail and of architectural frameworks in the defense sector is studied and referenced.
