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).

Accelerating ITS Implementation – Applying Past Experience to Achieve Future Success | |||
|
Interactive webinar hosted by James Pol of the U.S. Department of Transportation's (USDOT) ITS Evaluation Program...
The Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Joint
Program Office (JPO) is placing increasing emphasis on
transferring ITS technology from research to practice,
and accelerating the rate of ITS technology adoption.
Understanding the motivating factors for implementing
technologies is critical to accelerating deployment of
the next generation of ITS and moving toward the
connected vehicle environment of the future. To advance
this effort, The ITS JPO commissioned the Study of ITS
Implementation. This study identifies motivating factors
for adopting, maintaining, expanding, and replacing ITS
technology that supports safe and efficient operations
across the broader transportation community. The study
included comprehensive interviews with decision-makers
within public-sector, trucking, and auto manufacturer
organizations. The study also determined if continued
ITS operation or system expansion produced measurable
results based on transportation data archives maintained
at four distinct ITS implementations. In this
interactive webinar hosted by James Pol of the U.S.
Department of Transportation's (USDOT) ITS Evaluation
Program, presenters will: Share key study insights and
implications for accelerating implementation of the next
generation ITS and the connected vehicle environment.
Highlight compelling ITS stories identified among
interviews with highway, transit and tolling agencies,
as well as police, emergency services, and others at the
State, metropolitan planning organization, county and
city levels. Solicit your feedback on key themes to
inform ITS JPO strategies for accelerating ITS
implementation.
