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.

    Is US tolling as fragmented and divided as some would have you believe? And are the technology suppliers so very entrenched? ITS International spoke to the market's leading suppliers. A few years back, the prevalent view was that the North American tolling market was characterised by fragmented, proprietary solutions, each existing in splendid isolation.
