558 AMG Systems' new 9000 series of ruggedised Ethernet switches have been specifically designed for outdoor and harsh industrial environments with extended temperature requirements, including roadside cabinet mounting for transport applications. The switches support ring topologies and are claimed to offer a cost-effective networking solution without comprising on advanced functionality such as fast ring recovery (less than 20ms) and power over Ethernet. The transmission capability stretches to 40km over singlemode fibre and the products are available for extended temperature range requirements from -40° to +75° Celsius.

According to Dr. Alan Hayes, AMG Systems founder and Managing Director, "The extended transmission range is achieved through the dual-speed SFP Combo fibre
port for increased network elasticity with no performance degradation. Spanning Tree and IGMP snooping functionality are also key features and the power over Ethernet option allows for taking power, as well as data, to the edge of the network devices."

    The adaptation of machine vision to transport applications continues apace. That the machine vision industry is taking traffic installations seriously is evident by the amount of hardware and software products tailor-made for ITS applications that are now available on the market. A good example comes from US-based Gridsmart Technologies which has developed a single wire fisheye camera that provides a horizon to horizon view for use at intersections. Not only does the single camera replace four or more in a

    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
