INTERFACE MANAGEMENT PLAN • Developed to overcome the tremendous complexity of the CHSRP • How to achieve the outcome of a working system from multiple contracts? • Interface Management Plan Developed by Oliver Hoehne
21
INTERFACE CLASSIFICATIONS • Program external / third party interfaces » E.g. utility relocations, or other projects that impact CHSRP. • Inter-contract interfaces » E.g. spatial provisions by a civil /structural contract for future rolling stock or systems contracts. Functionality / Performance involving actions, responses and QoS. • Intra-contract interfaces » E.g. spatial interfaces between civil and drainage construction elements
• Interface Types » I.e. Spatial / Physical / Electrical / Data

INTERFACE MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW Identification Systems Analysis, identify IFs, store in Interface Register (IF-REG) using Requirements Management (RM) Tool
Specification Define IF requirements, document them in Interface Control Document, trace from IF-REG to ICD using RM Tool
Implementation Develop Interface Design, document in ICD, trace from IF-REG to ICD using RM Tool Implement Interface on both interfaces sides (Contractors)
Verification (and Validation) Review (verification) and inspect/test (validation) of individual interface implementation
Integration Integrate interface and perform integration testing
Certification Formal sign-off, agreement and acceptance
SUMMARY • California High-Speed Rail Program is a technically complex delivery with multiple design-build procurements • Interface management is necessary to manage the interfaces between the contracts • The Interface Management Plan was developed and is part of several SE tools to deliver a working High-Speed Rail system
