Geospatial Assessment of Terrestrial Communication Infrastructure Requirements during the Process of Traffic Signal System Upgrade
Departments of Transportation (DOTs) resort to upgrading traffic signal control infrastructure in response to growing traffic needs and maturing technology. These upgrades are infeasible to conduct instantaneously, requiring the development of a spatial and temporal migration plan. The upgrade of signal control equipment could potentially change the requirements of the supporting communication infrastructure. The essential need for analysis of communication infrastructure is related to the idea of effective resource planning and improved decision-making process, along with reduction of investments and work duplication among DOT staff. This research focuses on the development of framework and methodology for such an analysis during the creation of a migration plan for the upgrade of signal control system. The developed tool integrates Geographical Information Systems techniques with telecommunication procedures for quality of service analysis.
