Intelligent
Transportation Systems
 Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS) are becoming more important to
local, state and federal transportation agencies. ITS has
been identified as a way to bolster homeland security,
disaster management and overall traffic congestion. New
bandwidth intensive devices, such as video surveillance
cameras, have typically required the installation of costly
fiber runs to each camera location. However, ITS systems
also rely on portable and mobile devices - such as traffic
sensors, still cameras, message signs and mobile laptop
computers. Because of this, DOT agencies have been searching
for an ITS networking solution that is less expensive and
more flexible for rapid deployment of devices than fiber.
Mesh-Enabled solutions offer
the bandwidth needed to support data and video intensive
devices, while meeting the need for wide area connectivity
to fixed, portable and mobile devices. In addition to its
data and video capabilities, Motorola's Mesh Enabled
Architecture (MEA) products also support voice and position
location services that can be used to communicate with field
personnel and turn their vehicles into real-time traffic
probes.

Automatic
License Plate Recognition
Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR), either
stand-alone or when integrated as a component of an
Intelligent Transportation System, can be used in any number
of applications including:
ALPR is an attractive product
to complement or validate RFID or Digital Short-Range
Communications.
Tolling
Systems
Integration of Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR)
into an open road or free-flowing tolling system allows for
the creation of electronic-toll lanes with automated gates
or freeflow toll lanes where enforcement is accomplished by
the use of fixed cameras. ALPR is used to identify tolling
violators by providing images of vehicles and their license
plates to the tolling authority for enforcement.
PIPS is able to automate the
process typically performed by individuals manually
collecting tolls at toll booths. In addition, it allows such
transactions to be performed while vehicles travel at high
speed. These systems are also emerging as the most efficient
way to implement congestion charging.
Mesh-Enabled Solutions for Telematics Networks
Telematics applications, long promised, finally appear to be
making headway. With the agreement on a telematics wireless
standard called Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC),
the industry has a solid platform to build on.
 Although
infotainment and intelligent highways were once seen as the
main drivers for adoption of telematics, motorist safety and
traffic management applications are taking their place. At
some point in-vehicle trends will include wireless
connectivity providing entertainment and web access. For the
foreseeable future however, this will be limited to traffic
and safety information broadcast from roadside access
points.
Near-term telematics
applications will allow cars to warn other vehicles of
nearby emergency situations or adverse road conditions
ahead. This information can be displayed within onboard
navigation systems and roadside messaging boards in real
time. Drivers can be altered to severe or congested road
conditions and provided alternate routes. This will require,
reliable low latency networking between moving vehicles and
between vehicles and roadside access points.
MEA technology can also add
position location determination to select radio platforms.
Both absolute (geo-referenced coordinates) as well as
relative (distance from other nodes) position can be
determined and displayed. This information is available in
real time to each user, as well as to a network operations
center. These position location capabilities are currently
deployed using Motorola’ QDMA® mobile radio.
Video
Surveillance Monitoring and Security
The
way the world has changed is altering the way we look at
security. Virtually every organization, municipality,
institution and business has made security one of its
highest priorities. In addition, government regulations are
mandating higher levels of security across the board. The
investments allocated to providing premises and property
protection, personal safety, systems security and public
safety are growing exponentially.
Putting Hot
Spots in Motion (Mobile WiFi)
Public Wireless LAN (PWLAN) providers and Wireless Internet
Service Providers (WISP) are looking for ways to increase
revenue and points of presence for their hot spot networks.
Transportation agencies are searching for new services to
increase rider satisfaction. Clear targets of opportunity
are Internet services on
 public
transit vehicles, since commuters are looking to make
transit time more productive or entertaining. However, Wi-Fi
technology alone does not offer the mobile or wide area
connectivity required for network access on a moving bus,
train, or subway. Motorola's mobile hot spot solution does.
By integrating its Mesh Enabled Architecture (MEA) network
with 802.11 access points, Motorola can put "hot spots in
motion" for commercial network access providers and public
transit agencies. In addition to passenger services,
applications such as security video monitoring and driver
communications, can be provided over the same wireless MEA
network.
Mesh-Enabled Benefits
Target Transit
Motorola offers a mobile backhaul network solution for
802.11 access points mounted on trains, buses, light rail
and other public transit vehicles. Wireless ISPs, Hot Spot
operators and transportation agencies can expand their
services and revenues by targeting new markets in Mass
Transit.
Turn Hot Spots into “Hot
Routes”
Instead of limiting 802.11 access to stations and stops, MEA
technology can extend access into the buses and trains
themselves. Motorola offers scalable networking solutions so
that individual routes or entire transit systems can be
deployed quickly and cost effectively. Additional Wireless
Routers and Intelligent Access Points can be added at any
time to extend the coverage or increase the capacity of the
network.
Mobile Backhaul
Motorola provides broadband products that wirelessly deliver
megabit connectivity, with burst data rates up to 6 Mbps.
High-speed trains, light rail, buses, etc. can offer
continuous connectivity along entire routes at speeds of up
to 180+ mph.
Transparent Networking
Email, instant messaging and web browsing are just a few of
the applications that commuters will enjoy. And since MEA
networks support end-to-end IP, VPN software used to access
corporate or private LANs works transparently as well.
