Communications and Power Improvements for Rural ITS Field Devices (Showcase Evaluation #10)

Many rural areas lack an integrated communications or power infrastructure that can support the deployment of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). As a part of the California Oregon Advanced Transportation Systems (COATS) Showcase project, the Western Transportation Institute at Montana State University conducted a study to document case studies of innovative solutions for addressing the communications and power needs of ITS field devices deployed in a rural environment. This project report provides the most recent information on current technologies and strategies utilized by transportation agencies throughout the country to supply communications and power to ITS field devices at remote sites.
