Systems Engineering methods are applied to address symptomatic problems associated with pedestrian‐vehicle interactions on a university campus. Through discovery techniques a more accurate picture of the true problem is obtained. Using system modeling, potential consequences associated with proposed solutions are identified. An optimized solution was identified which maximized benefits without incurring unacceptable costs. This application of Systems Engineering shows the value of problem definition and analysis prior to solution implementation in the domain of public policy.
