Abstract :
With the rapid development and deployment of Intelligent Transportation Systems, there has emerged a significant need for professional development for transportation professionals. Innovations in educational technology provide new ways to deliver on-demand training. Research is underway at Rensselaer, sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration, to explore the development and application of interactive multimedia educational tools for Intelligent Transportation Systems training. This paper provides an overview of the project and describe two educational aids being developed, an interactive multimedia handbook on wireless communications and a computer-based game on designing and deploying Electronic Toll Collections Systems
