... This section will discuss the counter-rotating ring fault tolerant technology Hat is widely employed in available commercial products, and techniques that can be used in ITS implementation where fault tolerant capabilities are not in the basic equipment design. Fault tolerant design offers many benefits for ITS commun~cabon systems: I
