Rooftop wireless antenna

With the Sencity Road MIMO, Huber+Suhner is extending its portfolio of rooftop antennas for buses, commercial vehicles, trams and underground railways. The new Sensity Road MIMO is able to achieve a far higher data rate than a standard antenna, supporting applications with very high data rates, such as passenger information systems, passenger monitoring or internet on board.

With the Sencity Road MIMO, 7889 Huber+Suhner is extending its portfolio of rooftop antennas for buses, commercial vehicles, trams and underground railways.

The new Sensity Road MIMO is able to achieve a far higher data rate than a standard antenna, supporting applications with very high data rates, such as passenger information systems, passenger monitoring or internet on board.

Depending on the version, this compact omni-directional antenna includes two broadband radiating elements for 2G/3G/4G mobile communication and GPS, or three radiating elements for Wi-Fi 2.4/5 GHz. The antenna

supports Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) in the frequency range 698 MHz to 2700 MHz for all mobile communication networks.

The mobile communication version of the MIMO antenna is available for operators with an existing mobile communication network while for those using hotspots at bus stops or in the depot to access Wi-Fi technology, the Wi-Fi MIMO version of Sensity Road will be available in the future.

    One of the biggest problems facing US ITS professionals, says Georgia DOT's Hugh Colton, is the constrained thinking which is sometimes forced upon those making procurement decisions. It is time, he says, to look again at how we do things. In the November/December 2010 edition of this journal, Pete Goldin interviewed Joseph Sussman, chairman of the US's ITS Program Advisory Committee. Amongst other observations that Sussman made was that, technologically, ITS in the US is 10 years behind that in the world-l

    To complement its existing WIM offering, IRD has introduced a system to detect under-inflated and flat tyres at highway speeds. Tyre inflation pressure has both safety and economic impacts for road users and none more so than with commercial vehicles. An underinflated tyre has decreased directional control, increased risk of catastrophic failure, and negatively impacts tyre life and fuel economy. In June 2014 the USDOT published Large Truck and Bus Crash Facts 2012 in which the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
