 Applications illustrate how specific standards were applied to a task in the classroom, with students and/or faculty describing the way in which standards impacted the design process.
Applications of IEEE 802.11b Wireless Standards in the Realization of a New Service Paradigm for New Jersey’s Garden State Parkway
The New Jersey Highway Authority plans to open 3 new interchanges, as an extension of their current 45 locations, to ease toll-plaza congestion and accommodate demand for expected increased volumes of traffic. The addition of these new interchanges have prompted the NJ Highway Authority to pursue a feasibility study to determine how their technicians could utilize wireless technologies to improve day-to-day operational efficiencies, and improve overall operational integrity of the toll collection system. This paper, developed by a team of DeVry University (North Brunswick, NJ) Student & Faculty Members, follows this theme using information from IEEE Standards documents to provide comparisons of data rates, operational frequency bands, range, and power levels associated with the IEEE 802.x suite of standards. DeVry University students planned and implemented RF propagation studies to determine workability of one or more IEEE wireless standard options at two toll plaza locations.
