Systems engineering processes are designed to address the functions, elements and issues found in many complex systems, including those outside traditional aerospace industry programs. In this paper these processes are applied to transportation planning for a region ‐ the San Francisco Bay Area. This paper examines the application of the Systems Engineering process, as established in the MIL‐STD‐499B, to this civil system. It considers the unique problems and differences such a civil system imposes on the 499B process. These are seen to be identifying the diffuse customer, which includes the various government agencies involved in the system as well as the public; identifying the requirements and functions of such a complex existing system; characterizing this system; and establishing ways to incorporate new technologies. Representative requirements and functional analysis are presented.
