Moxa demonstrates obsolescence management of train network refurbishments

Moxa is taking advantage of the Innotrans 2014 exhibition in Berlin to showcase its new products and technologies its ToughNet series of EN 50155 compliant managed Ethernet switches which support Moxa´s new technology dynamic ring coupling that enables the speedy and automated configuration of Ethernet Switches aboard trains when consists are rearranged in mid-journey. It also guarantees inter-consist network recovery in less than one second, and even faster intra-consist recovery in 20 milliseconds.

It also guarantees inter-consist network recovery in less than one second, and even faster intra-consist recovery in 20 milliseconds.

Unlike RSTP, dynamic ring coupling does not disrupt intra-consist networks during reorientation. As a result, all the Ethernet network services today’s expected by long-distance railway passengers and operators - CCTV surveillance, wi-fi access, passenger information systems, public announcement systems, and more - can be seamlessly enjoyed even when coupling switches are rearranged mid-journey.

    Temporary traffic monitoring with Bluetooth and wi-fi
    David Crawford reviews developments in temporary ITS. Widespread take-up of technologies such as Bluetooth and wi-fi are encouraging the emergence of more sophisticated, while still cost effective, ITS responses to the traffic issues posed by temporary road situations such as work zones and special events. Andy Graham of traffic solutions specialists White Willow Consulting says: “A machine-to-machine radio link is far easier and cheaper than reading characters on a plate.” There can be other plusses.
