• Description:
  The communications system generally proves the most critical and expensive element of a traffic control system/IVHS. Therefore the successful design, implementation, and operation of the communications system become key to the effectiveness of the overall traffic control system. This handbook provides an easy-to-use reference on communications for traffic control system applications. It compares various communications media, technologies, architectures, and options and presents techniques to guide the user through a communication system design. The handbook should prove useful to agencies considering the implementation, upgrading, or expansion of a traffic control system, as well as by system designers responsible for making decisions on the various features of the communications system. The cost data provided generally represent the state-of-the-practice at the time of handbook preparation; however, handbook users should develop their own cost data for analysis of specific projects. Figures, references, appendices, glossary, 193p.
