Background – Intelligent Traffic Management

Intelligent Traffic Management is possible when you can deliver the communication necessary between devices and assets to a centralised traffic management application. With rugged and easy-to-deploy connectivity solutions, transportation departments and their partners can deliver real-time communication and control to remote equipment.

The Robustel router would be used to access remote controller from a central system, which has an advanced network management system. Also Robustel router need to establish OpenVPN with central Gateway Router, so that we could ensure the data security over Internet.

Solution
The R3000 Lite was part of an intelligent system for a traffic light control system via the stable and secure data transmission. The typical topology is showing below delivers real-time communication and control to remote equipment.

Critical Requirements for a Smart Lighting System

Street lighting is one of the biggest expenses of local governments. In order to save costs on maintenance and reduce energy cost, a particular solution was called for to monitor the status of remote lighting in real time and control the light in a variety of ways – specifically with regards to brightness levels, adjustment of on/off timing, Notification of Lamp Failure, Consumed Energy, Lamp Burning Hours.

Robustel products can provide a wireless solution to enable a complete smart street lighting system. Through the Robustel R3000 series router, the status of data could be constantly transmitted via cellular network. With a RobustLink platform installed in the control center, the remote lighting could be monitored and controlled intelligently. Meanwhile, maintenance resources could be managed more effectively according to the lamp data which could be collected remotely.

Robustel Solution

Robustel R3000 router and RobustLink platform help to build up a remote monitoring and control system with real-time and stable data transmission. The typical operating map is shown below:
