Research estimates that 2-to-5% of your country’s GDP is being lost to traffic congestion. With more vehicles joining our roads each year, it is imperative that city administrators and traffic departments take action, not just to reduce traffic congestion, but to reduce the pollution generated by idling vehicles. D-Link has the Smart Traffic solutions you need to know what’s going on with your roads, keep your roads going, and prepare for a more intelligent future.
Any Smart Traffic solution will depend on robust and cost-efficient road monitoring. D-Link supplies the vast Low-Power Wide-Area (LPWA) Internet-of-Things (IoT) sensor networks that they’ll need. We also supply the RFID readers and Radar that the connected vehicles that travel these roads will need. .
Connected Vehicles are increasingly being synchronized with Smart Traffic Lights so that intersections stay green when no one is waiting for them. D-Link provides a foundation of high-speed connectivity and low-latency computing at the Edge. Analytics and inter-device communication are done without having to wait for a response from a control center or remote data center – making for a much more dynamic system.
Smart Traffic is about more than just resolving the gridlock problems of today, it’s about preparing for a future of self-driving cars powered by 5G networks. For the public sector, Smart Traffic is a chance to gain valuable data, experience, and comfort with Edge Computing, AI, IoT, and a variety of other technologies that the autonomous vehicles of the future will depend on. For Telecoms, it’s a chance to start laying down the relevant infrastructural foundation now, which will make their future 5G depolyment work faster and easier, while generating some reliable long-tail revenue.
City traffic can be a complex mixture of buses, cars, cycles, hoverboards, pedestrians, animals, and more – all moving at different speeds. And every city is unique. But fortunately, D-Link has access to Microsoft’s vast Machine Learning and Object Recognition resources and datasets, enabling our solutions to be trained to your city’s particular circumstances, and evolve with them, very rapidly.
D-Link has over 30 years of experience building network infrastructure. If you’re considering a Smart Traffic project, contact us today.
