Wireline Communications Design Guidebook for Intelligent Transportation Systems

Project Description

Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) engineers are responsible for the design, evaluation, and implementation of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) solutions across the entire state. These installations occur with vast differences in requirements, expectations, and constraints. Many deployments require some type of communication system to complete the installation.

This project developed a communications design and evaluation methodology for ITS deployments, which was implemented via a reference guidebook, and training workshop materials for TxDOT personnel. Researchers proved that it is feasible to create and apply a consistent system design/evaluation process for ITS communications needs. The success of the pilot workshop suggests that there is a strong need for the process and its accompanying materials to be disseminated across the state. Workshop materials are now available for this purpose.
