A previous paper (ref.1) was published to describe a generic system‐of‐systems (SoS) requirements model, which was constructed to guide systems engineering process for future Rail Transit Systems (RTS) in Singapore. In that publication, guidelines for detailed analysis of each requirements breakdown in the areas of operational, functional and physical requirements were explained. This paper elaborates on the systems assurance aspect, as part of the generic systems engineering and generic requirements model to guide development of non‐functional requirements. In particular, management of safety and reliability is explained. The systems assurance process described in this paper is derived from valuable experience gained through management of several highly integrated driverless RTS with different procurement strategies. The new systems engineering process will be cascaded to future transit projects for improvements of requirements management, verification and validation, and optimization of available resources.
