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.
To address growing networking extension requirements driven by the emerging Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Moxa has launched the industrial Ethernet extender switch IEX-408E-2VDSL2 here at ITS America 2016. The IEX-408E-2VDSL2 supports two VDSL2 ports and six Ethernet ports for long distance data transmission over twisted-pair copper wiring. The switch enables users to leverage existing cables to upgrade and extend their networks quickly, as well as reduce costs – making it ideally suited to ITS a
The Call for Papers for the 2016 TS European Congress that has been very successful, say the organisers, with over 300 papers and more than 60 special interest session proposals around the five main topics.
For those planning to exhibit or visit the congress, the organising team has arranged a special open day on 17 February to provide more information on the exhibition facilities, opportunities for sponsors and exhibitors and the congress format.
Prepared for Finland’s Ministry of Transport and Communications (MINTC), the HERMES study (link : http://www.lvm.fi/lvm-site62-mahti-portlet/download?did=204390) discusses the upgrade of mobility in the country’s transport network, focusing on four intelligent transportation systems (ITS) innovations: Autonomous vehicles; Mobility as a Service (MaaS); Mobility Pricing; and innovations for freight and logistics.

French transport tech developer Adgero will unveil what it says is the world’s first operational energy-saving, hybrid electric system for road transport at the Commercial Vehicle Show in Birmingham next week. Adgero’s hybrid technology consists of an electrically driven axle mounted under the semi-trailer, powered by a bank of ultra capacitors, and controlled by intelligent management software that automatically controls regenerative braking and acceleration boost.
