ICEE targets mechanical storage - be that bytes or bikes

ICEE Managed Services’ new roadside cabinet design has the power modules in an integrated but separate enclosure to the side of the main enclosure for the switches, servers and other processing equipment.

8152 ICEE Managed Services’ new roadside cabinet design has the power modules in an integrated but separate enclosure to the side of the main enclosure for the switches, servers and other processing equipment. According to the company this allows the power supply to be pre-wired and positions it higher in the cabinet to minimise the risk of water damage.

The cabinet sits on a standard 610 plinth and provides front and rear access to the servers and the two section can be locked with different keys to limit access to appropriate personnel.

The company is also producing a new design of racking system for Brompton Bike Hire. Eight of the folding bicycles fit into 'lockers' in the vandal-resistant and the solar- and/or mains-powered cabinet and additional bays can be added if required.

Users hire and drop off bicycles via a text message to Brompton which then sends a message to the appropriate cabinet to release or accept a bicycle.

However, many authorities’ cap-ex budgets only cover urgent matters, not improvements, making it difficult, if not impossible to

    Someone once likened predicting the future to ‘nailing a jelly to the wall’. With ITS, C-ITS and V2X technology progressing at such a pace, predicting the future is more akin to trying to nail three jellies to the wall – but only having one nail. And yet with roadways having a lifetime measured in decades, that is exactly what highway engineers and traffic planners are expected to do. Fortunately, New Hampshire DoT (NHDoT) believes its technological advances may be able to provide a solution. The Central Ne
