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.
Speakers:
* Jim Hunt and Nathaniel Price, FHWA;
* Rashmi Brewer, P.E., MnDOT; and
* Sarath Joshua P.E., Ph.D., Maricopa Association of Governments.
