Why SE?

Mission & Objectives

The TWG’s purpose, goal and scope for 2015-18 are:

  • Purpose – To promote and grow the application of systems awareness, thinking and engineering    within ground transportation
  • Goal – Systems engineering is used to deliver complex systems in the transportation sector, and a broad and deep community of systems engineers is present throughout the supply chain.
  • Scope – Ground transportation systems and their supporting technical and business infrastructures  (with emphasis on highways, bus, rail and transit).
