97 Moxa unveiled new technologies to improve network reliability for smart transportation applications at the ITS America Annual Meeting and Expo. V-On “Video Always On” is a video stream recovery technology on Moxa’s latest Ethernet switches that provides 50 ms redundancy for multicast video streams when used with Moxa’s Turbo Ring or Turbo Chain.
“It can take several seconds for the video stream to resume after a network interruption even if the network itself recovers immediately,” explains Richard Wood, product manager at Moxa Americas. “With a simple configuration setting, Moxa’s V-On technology enables the video stream to resume almost as quickly as the network itself. This helps ensure the highest level of real-time reliability for mission-critical video surveillance applications.”
The demo video of V-On in action, shown at the Moxa booth, can be viewed online at: %$Linker: 2External<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary />000oLinkExternalwww.youtube.com/watch?v=upGbhfqYXt4Watch youtube click herefalsehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upGbhfqYXt4falsefalse%> Moxa’s WDR-3124A, a combo Wi-Fi and cellular router designed to enable extremely rugged and reliable remote access to critical vehicle and passenger data, was also featured at the Annual Meeting. Four built-in Ethernet ports consolidate IP-based communications between the various onboard devices, sensors and cameras, and the built-in cellular interface transmits critical live data while in transit. When the vehicle is back at the lot or service center, the built-in Wi-Fi interface connects directly with the control center to share all accumulated onboard data.
“The combination of communication interfaces on the WDR-3124A makes it an ideal choice for fleet operators that are incorporating smart IP-based connectivity into their existing vehicles,” notes Wood.
Rail, bus and taxi operators are realising significant savings by switching to ride scheduling, booking and monitoring apps that help them greatly automate their operations - while simultaneously offering their smartphone-wielding passengers the information they crave. Indeed, most of today’s transportation apps offer customers instant access to your system via mobile phone, where they can book and pay for a ride, get real-time status on their train, bus, or taxi - greatly reducing the overhead you normally
The UK’s Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) smart cities meeting on 16 October will debate the technologies, skills and innovation needed to deliver the smart cities of the future.
Prof Dr Uwe Krueger, CEO of Atkins, will discuss how coping with mass urbanisation will require a new kind of design, engineering and delivery – one which delivers adaptable and smart solutions, prioritises materials and energy efficiency and yet still meets the highest standards of quality and safety. It will me
ID TECH’s new addition to its audio jack family of secure mobile card readers, UniPay, combines contact chip card reading and magnetic stripe reading in a single device. EMV Level 1 approved with AES and TDES encryption algorithms, and DUKPT key management, it ensures that consumers’ financial information is securely transmitted to the host device.
Able to connect to various mobile devices such as Apple and Android platforms with an SDK, UniPay transforms any mobile device with an audio jack into a POS sy
French start-up company YoGoKo makes its Intertraffic debut with its focus firmly set on the challenges associated with V2X communication and autonomous driving. A few hundred road maintenance vehicles and motor coaches equipped with YoGoKo’s hybrid (ITS-G5/cellular) communication systems are participating in the EU-funded Scoop@F pilot deployments. Working in real traffic conditions, the pilot aims to validate a set of initial cooperative ITS (C-ITS) services between vehicles and the roadside
