Title: Professional Capacity Building for Communications
Abstract: The Western Transportation Institute at Montana State University, under contract with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), researched and initiated development of a comprehensive training curriculum for transportation communication systems. This curriculum will build the professional capacity of rural intelligent transportation system (ITS) engineers and technicians. The principal deliverables of this project were a Literature Review Summary, a Needs Assessment Summary and Gap Analysis, a Curriculum Scope and Sequence, and a Pilot Course Summary and Evaluation Report. In this first phase, a pilot course was delivered to Caltrans ITS engineers to gauge viability and assess methodology of the overall curriculum. While the course was generally well received by participants, a number of necessary improvements were identified that must be addressed in subsequent project phases and course delivery.
