97 Moxa’s passenger information and communication systems have achieved Iris certification, one of the most stringent international standards.

The Iris standard is formulated by Union of the European Railway Industries (UNIFE) and combines the general quality requirements of ISO 9001 with stringent process and railway-specific requirements such as technical safety policies, project management, life cycle cost, obsolescence management and configuration management.

"Iris certification is a significant differentiator, not only for railway customers, but for any customer that requires reliable communications in harsh conditions, according to John Yelland, vice president of Global Marketing at Moxa. "The Iris requirements for time and cost management, product reliability and maintenance, life cycle cost, and more are highly relevant to other industries such as power, oil and gas, intelligent transportation systems, factory and marine automation. The message to all our customers is that Moxa is both committed and able to meet some of the highest and most stringent quality standards required by any industry."

Peter van de Beek sees an ever-greater role for technology in traffic enforcement but is concerned that the emphasis of technological development and discussion is not always in the right places. 'Old-fashioned' face-to-face policing remains as valid as it ever did, he feels, but adds that there should be greater communication with those engaged at the sharp end of saf

    As authorities strive to reduce expenditure and carbon emissions, Colin Sowman looks at some of the smart ways of managing street lighting while containing costs and maintaining safety. Street lighting can account for 40% of an authority’s energy consumption. So, faced with the need to reduce outgoings, some authorities are looking for smart ways of managing street lighting or even turning off swathes of street lights in the small hours. Back in 2008 the E-street Initiative report concluded that authorities

There’s an old story about the person who asked an Irishman for directions and after much thought he responded: “If you’re going there from here it would be better to start from somewhere else.” This came to mind when I was recently reflecting on eCall and wondering when it will come - some stakeholders say the answer is never. So despite years of workshops and discussions, eCall is still not

    Jenoptik’s Uwe Urban looks at the advantages of ‘sensor fusion’ for the ITS sector. When considering the ideal sensing and monitoring system to enable the ITS sector to deliver improvements in mobility and road safety, for general policing security and border protection, we have to think beyond radar-base systems or laser scanners. What is needed today are solutions for detecting and tracking vehicles while recording evidence to deacide if any action is necessary. There is no sole sensor capable of
