• Abstract:
  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. It was due to the lack of commercially available training options, the lack of institutional knowledge within Caltrans, and the challenges of deploying communication systems in rural areas that the Professional Capacity Building for Communications project was initiated within the Rural PSC of DRISI. The goals of this project are to develop a comprehensive curriculum and to conduct training for ITS communications. This will build the professional capacity of ITS engineers and maximize the benefits of a more efficient and higher quality 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 ITS practitioners.
