As the number of goods and people using the transport system increases, transport intelligence becomes more important for improving system efficiency. Industrial computers are changing the transportation industry by interconnecting vehicles, traffic lights and other devices, as well as the Internet.
The use of industrial computers brings benefits to intelligent vehicles, intelligent traffic management systems, intelligent toll collection systems, intelligent ticketing systems, and a variety of other benefits. Intelligent transportation systems can improve the efficiency of global transportation systems by alleviating congestion, preventing accidents, allowing vehicles to track and reduce emissions.
Different types of intelligent transportation system components that benefit from industrial computing solutions:
1. Passenger Information System (PIS)
Industrial computers are commonly used in power passenger information systems. The static maps show passengers when the trains and buses will arrive. Computers and passengers can now access real-time information about the status of their buses, trains, fairies, or other vehicles via their phone calls or via a digital signage displaying information at a traffic station. Intelligent transportation systems are becoming more popular as more transportation agencies seek to provide reliable and efficient services to commuters and passengers using transportation. The best way to keep passengers informed is to deploy robust industrial computers in the vehicle that transmit information about the status of the vehicle to enable them to know when vehicles such as trains, buses and ferries arrive / leave. Passengers like real-time information because it allows them to better plan travel, reduce time waiting for vehicles to arrive at the station, and eliminate speculation about when a bus or train will arrive.
2. Vehicle monitoring and management system
Intelligent transport systems enable transport agencies and truck fleet operators to remotely monitor transport vehicles. The on-board computer can collect vehicle data through the bus network and relay the data to the cloud for remote monitoring. Information that can be collected includes vehicle speed, vehicle ignition status, engine status, air flow, fluid level, and more vehicle information. In addition, intelligent transportation systems allow fleet owners and vehicle managers to monitor their vehicles through on-board cameras and sensors. An on-board computer can be configured to collect data from vehicle sensors and cameras, uploading only data that triggers specific triggers to the cloud for remote monitoring.
3.CCTV monitoring of traffic vehicles and railway stations
Industrial computers are well suited to CCTV monitoring systems because they are compact enough to accommodate space-constrained environments. Moreover, they utilize efficient low-power processors, which makes them ideal for remote deployments where stable power is never available. Low-power industrial computers are able to deplete the battery pack without a stable power supply, making it ideal for deployment in remote environments. Due to their unique fan-less design, industrial computers are able to withstand deployment in outdoor environments as they are dust-proof, debris-proof and waterproof. The fanless design of industrial computers for intelligent transportation allows manufacturers to create completely enclosed systems that rely on radiators to cool the internal heating components. The radiator works by transferring the heat from the internal components to the computer’s housing, and then distributing the heat into the air around the system.
4.Traffic automation
Industrial computers used for intelligent transportation are usually used in self-driving cars. Autonomous vehicles include automatic road vehicles, automatic mining vehicles, automatic agricultural vehicles, automatic warehouse vehicles, and so on. Industrial computers make self-driving cars possible because they can collect, process, and analyze the vast amount of information provided to them from the various sensors and cameras on self-driving vehicles. Furthermore, industrial computers are ideal for self-driving vehicles because they have rich connectivity options that allow vehicles to connect to the Internet, even in environments where reliable wireless connections cannot always provide. Robust industrial computers are equipped with cellular connections via dual SIM card modules allowing the organization to install two wireless carriers for redundancy and connectivity in remote or mobile environments.
5.Intelligent traffic management system
Industrial computers can be deployed to enable intelligent traffic management. With the increasing number of cars, we want to improve the efficiency of roads and traffic conditions. Industrial computers for intelligent transportation can be deployed to automate transportation systems and more effectively utilize existing infrastructure.
