Abstract:This project initiated the development of a computerized database of ITS facilities, including conduits, junction
boxes, cameras, connections, etc. The current system consists of a database of conduit sections of various lengths.
Over the length of a section materials sometimes change and the numbers, types, and locations of junction boxes
are unknown. The accurate location of conduits in the medium and long-term can be best undertaken with a crossreferenced
segment and junction box inventory. This work focused on fiber optic conduit and junction boxes and the
development of a detailed database of segment-level conduits. It involved locating, surveying, and inspecting
various conduits and junction boxes to allow the identification of physical characteristics (diameter, length,
material, etc.) and location characteristics (GPS coordinates, soil type, under asphalt/concrete/grass, proximity to
other utilities/clutter, etc.). This field verification will improve the quality and accuracy of inventory information for
future construction and expansion of the network. The existing inventory database(s) of the ITS fiber optic conduit
system, which are at the section level and do not include junction box data, was used as a starting point for the
development of an expanded and improved system. A joint TCNJ and NJIT team worked to develop the system.
