Remote communication for traffic lights
Enhance urban efficiency with remote communication for traffic lights: real -time monitoring and control for traffic optimization.
Challenge
Modernize network infra and allow remote communication with traffic lights in various parts of Rio de Janeiro.
Solution
Cell Routers and BridgeManager System for Connections Management with the Customer Supervisory.
Our client had a worn and obsolete RS485 serial network infrastial with high maintenance cost. I needed a robust and reliable remote communication solution to control hundreds of traffic lights in certain regions of the city of Rio de Janeiro. The application was critical because, as in any large metropolis, the city could come into chaos in case of communication failure with the controllers.
Above-Net has provided the solution through industrial and resistant mobile routers, coupled with the BridgeManager system, responsible for monitoring and managing connections. This solution has allowed transparent communication via Intenet/VPN between CCO and traffic light controllers and generated the customer to important data on connections status, data traffic, and signal level.
The products and systems involved in the solution are industrial and prepared for critical operations and large volumes of connections:
- Robustel R3000-L3P-Dual-SIM cell phone router with 1 serial port and 1 ethernet port;
- M1000XP - Cell Modem with Serial Door;
- BridgeManager - Cell connection management and monitoring system. Housed in Datacenter Reducer, ensures reliability and robustness to large volumes of connections. In addition to allowing a transparent link between the supervisory and the equipment scattered on the field, it generates data and information about signal level, location, connection status among others.
This solution has been in operation for some time and has been replicated by the customer in other cities due to reliability, high availability and excellent cost-effectiveness.
