Two managed ethernet switches

Advantech Industrial Automation Group has introduced two new eight-port EN50155 IP67 managed Ethernet switches, the EKI-6558TI and EKI-6559TMI. The company says that EN50155 certification and redundant X-ring allows for trusted connection to Ethernet networks, which is particularly useful for passenger information and video surveillance systems. The devices feature IP67-rated housings and vibration-resistant M12 connectors.

548 Advantech Industrial Automation Group has introduced two new eight-port EN50155 IP67 managed Ethernet switches, the EKI-6558TI and EKI-6559TMI. The company says that EN50155 certification and redundant X-ring allows for trusted connection to Ethernet networks, which is particularly useful for passenger information and video surveillance systems. The devices feature IP67-rated housings and vibration-resistant M12 connectors.

According to Advantech, the EN50155 certification for railway application requirements guarantees reliable performance under stressful conditions, such as voltage spikes, interruption of voltage supply, cool weather, dry heat, bumps, vibration, shock, surges, PF magnetic fields, pulse magnetic fields, and conducted emissions. For passenger information systems, this allows these modules to connect with LCD and LED display boards, while for video surveillance systems, this guarantees these devices can reliably connect with cameras for a variety of applications.

    Astronomical is not too grand a term to describe the current rate of growth in transportation-related data. Massive amounts of traffic related information, such as speed, volume, incidents and weather are being generated every second by road operators and users alike. Big data’ derives its name from the sheer amount and complexity of available raw data. Its potential value is starting to emerge among the intelligent transportation systems community. A gold rush is taking place to capture this value, with da

Although Floating Vehicle Data (FVD) or probe vehicle fleets have been around for about a decade, the idea behind them is of course much older: from probe vehicles that flow with the traffic it should be possible to get a precise, fast and spatially near-complete picture of the prevailing traffic flow conditions in an area under surveilla

    Two decades after the death of the inductive loops was predicted, Matt Zinn, technical services manager at Eberle Design says the technology still offers advantages. More than 20 years ago the emergence of video detection systems led many to foretell the end of inductive loops. In the intervening years advocates of radar, infrared and wireless detection technologies have also claimed that loops were on their way out. But in fact, by all calculations, the use of loops has actually increased and although
