Revolutionizing California’s Urban Mobility with Intelligent Transportation Systems
Managing Traffic Congestion
In Placentia, California, anyone who lives in a metropolitan area and commutes to work understands the challenges posed by increasingly crowded roadways during morning and evening rush hours. While the conventional solution involves expanding and constructing larger roads to accommodate more vehicles, many communities have recognized the potential of technological solutions to complement or supplement these traditional road projects. One such solution involves implementing Advanced Technology Management Systems for more efficient traffic congestion monitoring and management. Today, traffic management systems incorporate features like traffic light controllers, inputs from various vehicle detector types (such as video, radar, and magnetic sensors), video surveillance systems, dynamic message signs, and other tools for measuring traffic flow and informing the public about congested areas. These systems empower traffic engineers and emergency personnel to monitor traffic flow and predict potential trouble spots before they escalate.
City-Wide Vigilance
From a central location, the traffic management center (TMC), authorities can monitor traffic and weather conditions through CCTV cameras installed at various locations in and around the city. Information collected at the TMC is shared with other agencies and neighboring cities in the region to enhance traffic management. Dynamic message signs and hazard advisory radio systems along the roadways inform the traveling public about potential problem areas while having a better understanding of incident locations and conditions aids in reducing emergency service response times.
Navigating Network Device Challenges
Network equipment is installed in outdoor cabinets located close to the roadways. Regular network devices cannot withstand outdoor temperatures and harsh conditions, including unpredictable humidity and electrical and electromagnetic interference. They must be mounted in field cabinets with limited spaces and operate in harsh outdoor environments.
Building Resilient Networks for Traffic Control
EtherWAN products are designed to withstand heavy-duty applications and environments, making them suitable for outdoor or extreme environments. The SE6101 converts traffic light signals from serial mode to Ethernet. The SE6101 adeptly converts traffic light signals from serial mode to Ethernet, complemented by the EX71000, which boasts EtherWAN's proprietary α-ring technology, guaranteeing a swift recovery time of less than 15ms. This well-coordinated ring architecture places the EX71000 switches nearer to a centralized traffic management office, ensuring seamless communication with the EX77000 and a robust network system. These switches create a redundant network system crucial for city-wide traffic control.
Showcasing EtherWAN’s Network Expertise
Because of the hardened design of the EtherWAN products, know-how, and professional technical support, the network system of Placentia in California is running reliably. It provides information that allows city traffic engineers to efficiently manage traffic within the city.
