Abstract:Rural transportation engineers design and implement ITS installations in some of the most remote locations in California. Rural ITS deployments are becoming increasingly complex and remain challenging to address in terms of communication. Even though rural communications engineering is a mission-critical skill, many engineers have relatively little experience with the myriad of technologies that can be applied. Because technologies are changing and becoming obsolete very quickly, transportation professionals find it challenging to stay abreast of the latest technologies available on the market. Transportation agencies are also faced with the challenges of finding and retaining qualified staff. A variety of training options for communications are commercially available from academic institutions, trade organizations, and industry. However, training opportunities particular to transportation communications is limited, with even fewer options directly addressing professional capacity development for rural transportation communications. The goals of this project are to develop a comprehensive curriculum and to conduct training for Rural ITS communications. This will build the professional capacity of rural ITS engineers and maximize the benefits of a more efficient and higher quality rural transportation information and communications system. The project has an educational focus and its primary objective is to have leading subject matter experts provide a hands-on, “nuts and bolts” learning experience for rural ITS practitioners.
