Classroom Training
Fiber Optics for Traffic Systems
The Fiber Optics for
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) course, presented by
The Light Brigade is
intended to provide a practical understanding of how
fiber optics and fiber-optic technology are integrated
into modern traffic systems.
Fiber Optics for ITS Level I involves two days
of classroom training covering fiber optic theory,
installation, splicing, testing and maintenance disciplines, and system design. In addition, the course includes four chapters on video
transmission, real-time video, traffic control systems, and next generation systems that are
key to the evolution from analog to digital ITS applications. This includes optical multiplexing
(WDM, CWDM), bi-directional transmission, and bandwidth considerations for those using
or considering multimode fibers.
Fiber Optics for ITS Level II involves two additional days of hands-on training on fiber optic
splicing, cable preparation, OTDR operation, optical loss testing, and system design. Level
I certification is required in order to be eligible for Level II certification.
The fee for the course is $735 for level I, $830 for level II, and
$125 for certification (per level).

Leveraging a Regional ITS Architecture in Planning for Operations | |||

This webinar will highlight the important uses of the regional ITS architecture in planning for operations...
This webinar will highlight the important uses of the
regional ITS architecture in planning for operations.
The webinar will offer participants a preview of the
upcoming U.S. Department of Transportation document,
Applying a Regional ITS Architecture to Support Planning
for Operations: A Primer, and two expert practitioners
will share what they have learned from using the
regional ITS architecture in planning. Why leverage the
regional ITS architecture for planning for operations?
By aligning the regional ITS architecture with the
operations goals, operations objectives, and management
and operations strategies in the metropolitan or
statewide transportation plan, planning for operations
and the regional ITS architecture can reinforce each
other and make greater strides together toward improving
safety, efficiency, and reliability. Planning for
operations in the absence of a regional ITS architecture
could result in missed opportunities for scoping and
integrating regional operational strategies.
