A fiber optic splice organizer stores optical fiber splices and sufficient slack to permit the fibers to be readily separated, such as for reorganization or to remake a splice. Multiple hinges connect a plurality of fiber trays side by side to provide pivotable connections between trays. A flat orientation of the trays enables splicing and coiling of fibers as they are loaded into a tray. The trays then pivot into a fiber storage position. Special features of the hinges provide support for fibers and splices as they are loaded into the trays. The hinges protect the fibers as the trays are pivoted as well as when the trays are in their folded position for storage without requiring buffer tubes. Multiple architectures for the organization of fibers are enabled without violating minimal bend radii, and while providing for ease of separation of individual fibers or groups of fibers.

An integrated traffic state estimation framework ingests information from multiple input data sources having an impact on traffic flow and correlated to specific road links in a segmented roadway network, and generates output data representative of predictive traffic states. The predictive traffic states are then modeled to generate routing information for traffic on a particular section of roadway. These multiple input data sources include general traffic data collected from one or more sensors or third parties, weather data, incident data, pavement condition data, and roadway operations data, each of which includes data relevant to traffic congestion. The input data is weighted and modeled with data processing modules configured to integrate known and predicted information to produce accurate routing information for particular roadway segments for media, telematics, and consumer uses.

The inventors have envisioned a multihop network scenario in which nodes are equipped with advanced multi-antenna arrangements, and recognized the advantage of exploring the presence of such advanced antenna arrangements in multihop network nodes for the specific purpose of determining link cost for routing in the network. A basic idea of the invention is therefore to determine link cost for a wireless link between a pair of nodes in the network based on multi-channel characteristics between the nodes, where at least one of the nodes is configured for operation with multiple antennas to provide for multiple channels. These multi-channel characteristics may for example be determined based on explicit channel matrix estimation and/or the number of transmit and receive antennas or other information on the antenna capabilities of the involved nodes. The determined link cost information may subsequently be used together with additional routing cost information for route determination, and packet forwarding.
