UPGRADING YOUR CITY'S TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Overseeing a complex transportation network with thousands of miles roadways, tens of thousands of miles of sidewalk, hundreds of signalized intersections and dozens of bridges and tunnels, requires tremendous effort.

When you include traffic cameras, roadway digital signage, and vehicle detection systems, transportation departments (DOTs) have come to understand that they need reliable high-speed connectivity managed through a centralized platform to effectively operate these systems.

The Challenge

Modernizing Traffic System Monitoring and Management

Transportation networks that rely on wired-lines or outdated cellular devices and platforms need to
modernize their system. Some of the critical areas where DOT technology needs to improve include
dual carrier failover/fallback, a centralized platform for device management, cyber-encryption, and
support for Connected Vehicles (CV). Incorporating emerging trends in transit network management
has compelled DOTs to embrace more advanced cellular connectivity solutions.

The Solution

Digi Gateways and Cloud Management Platforms

The Solution | Digi Gateways and Cloud Management Platforms Running a large and diverse transportation communication network that requires 99.99% availability mandates high levels of automation, reliable hardware, and a cloud software platform, and network fault tolerance/redundancy. Transportation departments also need sophisticated management tools and accurate performance metrics. By implementing a hybrid network infrastructure with Digi TX54 LTE-A Dual Cellular routers at each intersection, and Digi Remote Manager for the management of transportation system IoT, transportation departments have been able to meet required performance standards on a network built to scale.
