... As will be evident in He designs, CCI,V video is a significant factor in emerging lids communication infrastructure design. CCTV cameras have an analog baDdw~d~ of more than 6 MHz, uncompressed digital bit rate of more Han 45 Mbps, and acceptable compressed fuBmodon video bit rate of 3 to 6 Mbps employing modon JPEG or MPEG compression standards.

... are supported by a communication system for coordinated traffic control; These urban areas are extensively concrete, so that new construction of wire and fiber cable plants usually requires expensive jack and bore installations; and · TOCs are operated by the city and typically are PC or workstation based. Emerging urban US communications requirements vim include: · Video surveillance, especially for sports and other special events in downtown arenas; · The loops of intersection controllers wiB be used for measuring traffic flow and accumulating statistics.

... The system is designed with analog video local links because current video encoder technology cannot cost-effectively support the video encoder at He camera or camera equipment cabinet. The cost trend, however, is down and the digitized compressed video signal is needed for switching/transm~ssion to multiple sites and to maintain video quality for long distance transmission to support emerging ITS goals of integrated video data sharing.

... Since fiber in conduit dominates the cost of We system, He design was modified to employ 10/11 GHz microwave OC-3 backbone links from He TOC to nodes I, 2, 3, and 4 and lower cost direct bury fiber installation for aB local links. As can be seen, this reduces He cost of He communication infrastructure by approximately $4 Minion.
