Classroom Training
Fiber Optics for Traffic Systems
The Fiber Optics for
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) course, presented by
The Light Brigade is
intended to provide a practical understanding of how
fiber optics and fiber-optic technology are integrated
into modern traffic systems.
Fiber Optics for ITS Level I involves two days
of classroom training covering fiber optic theory,
installation, splicing, testing and maintenance disciplines, and system design. In addition, the course includes four chapters on video
transmission, real-time video, traffic control systems, and next generation systems that are
key to the evolution from analog to digital ITS applications. This includes optical multiplexing
(WDM, CWDM), bi-directional transmission, and bandwidth considerations for those using
or considering multimode fibers.
Fiber Optics for ITS Level II involves two additional days of hands-on training on fiber optic
splicing, cable preparation, OTDR operation, optical loss testing, and system design. Level
I certification is required in order to be eligible for Level II certification.
The fee for the course is $735 for level I, $830 for level II, and
$125 for certification (per level).

Freight and Carbon Footprint: Efforts to Enhance Supply Chain Sustainability | |||

Due to rising fossil fuel costs and a greater number of regulations designed to
improve air quality and protect the public good, many freight transportation
companies are undertaking efforts to reduce their carbon emissions and lower
their carbon footprint. These efforts to enhance sustainability not only provide
environmental benefits, but in many cases are providing economic benefits to the
companies pursuing them, due to more efficient fossil fuel use and resulting
lower fuel costs. It is likely sustainability initiatives will continue to
become more important for many freight transportation companies in the coming
years.
