This paper describes the application of an Architectural Framework and System Architecture in the Rail and Road infrastructure. This is illustrated by addressing the state of the art of Systems Engineering in this domain, how the need for system architecture became apparent and finally what architecture framework was chosen and how that was applied in a real life rail example. The paper concludes with a view on the next steps to be taken to further mature the Architecture Framework and resulting system architectures. The main focus of this paper is on architecture for Rail Infrastructure systems, with some references to road infrastructure system.
