Abstract:

The communications element of a traffic control system has proved to have the greatest risk in terms of the successful implementation, operation, maintenance, and expansion of a system. It is also one of the most costly elements. The purpose of this report is to provide understandable information on communications in general and on specific communication technologies to those persons involved in the planning, design, and implementation of computer-based traffic control systems. The report includes a brief tutorial on communications technology and terminology; guidelines for conducting a thorough communications trade-off analysis; a detailed discussion of communications media which have been widely used in traffic control and of how these may be successfully designed and installed; and a discussion of newly developing technologies that have had limited use (if any) in traffic control systems, but may have wider applications in the future. An executive summary of the information is provided in Volume I, FHWA-RD-88-011.
