Nevada DOT – Building the Network of the Future
Join us for an insightful webinar that explores how the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) is transforming road management with its innovative Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). This deep-dive session will explore NDOT’s groundbreaking implementation of Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) technology, which has successfully addressed the challenges posed by outdated networking protocols. By embracing SPB, NDOT has created a more efficient, secure, and scalable ITS network that is ready to meet future demands.
During the webinar, you’ll learn about NDOT’s practical, hands-on approach to modernizing transportation infrastructure. Hear how they’ve reduced operational costs, enhanced network reliability, and improved road safety across an impressive 5,400 miles of highways. With a focus on real-world applications, the session will provide actionable insights into optimizing traffic management, improving connectivity, and laying the groundwork for emerging technologies like connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs).
