Simrex is displaying equipment that addresses two of the ITS sector’s bigger concerns: data security and smart infrastructures.

The new ESS-IV is an unlicensed wireless radio which offers cyber security using 256 bit encryption with auto key rotation and can double as a Wi-Fi access point. Data rates are up to 1.25Mbps, the line-of-sight range is up to 30 miles and the unit offers non-invasive interrogation without interrupting the data flow.

It is suitable for SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) traffic/ITS systems, video over-IP, mobile network access, as a gateway for legacy networks and for long range megabit-speed wireless Ethernet.

For agencies considering installing smart infrastructure for connected vehicles, Simrex offers the DM WB-G58N wideband integrated data link. Units could be placed at one to 1.5 mile intervals while in rural locations pole-mounted coverage can be five miles (or up to 30 miles as a wireless bridge). The 5.8gHz unlicensed unit offer data rates of up to 300Mbps, uses power over Ethernet and is fitted with two bright LEDs allowing technicians to confirm from ground level that the unit is operating and data is flowing.

    LiDAR sets its sights on future problems
    AAdvances in LiDAR are helping transport authorities improve services and identify potential problem areas, as geospatial technology expert Dr Neil Slatcher explains. The effects of climate change on the transport infrastructure have long been a cause of concern within the transportation sector - and not only on the structures themselves but also on the surrounding areas. This year, those concerns have become reality with landslides, structural collapses and surfacing issues impacting services across the wo

    Need for secure approach to connected vehicle technology
    Accidental or malicious issue of false messages to connected vehicles could result in dire consequences, so secure systems of authentication and certification are likely to be necessary, write Paul Avery and Sandra Dykes. Connectivity among vehicles in urban traffic systems will provide opportunity for beneficial impacts such as congestion reduction and greater safety. However, it also creates security risks with the potential for targeted disruption. Security algorithms, protocols and procedures must take

    David Crawford cherrypicks conference and award highlights Almost 30% of all US citizens live in rural areas or very small communities, and 34 of the 50 states exceed this level in their own populations, with the proportions rising as high as 85%. And although rural routes carry only 35% of all traffic, the accidents that occur on them account for some 54% of all US road traffic accident deaths.

    Technologies to protect connected cars ‘not being utilised’
    A three-year study by IOActive’s Cybersecurity Division has found half of vehicle vulnerabilities could allow cyber attackers to take control of a vehicle - and 71 per cent are ‘easy to exploit’. The research, detailed in a whitepaper, Commonalities in Vehicle Vulnerabilities, is based on real-world security assessments. Technologies which could be exploited include cellular radio, Bluetooth, wi-fi, companion apps, vehicle to vehicle (V2V) radio, onboard diagnostic equipment, infotainment media and Zigbe
