Highway Traffic Monitoring System

Nov. 28, 2011 - PRLog -- With only two major highways running down the west side of Taiwan, congestion and long traffic jams during holidays and long weekends are a certainty. The Taiwan National Highway Bureau (TNH) has set up several traffic monitors and control centres to monitor traffic and to provide drivers with road conditions and alternative routes for bypassing congested sections. To obtain real-time highway road conditions, the control centres rely on a large number of cameras installed along the highway. Most cameras support zoom-in/zoom out and left/right panning operations powered by a motor that is controlled remotely over an RS-485 connection. By taking advantage of existing fibre cables that run the length of the highway, system engineers used serial-to-fibre converters to control camera motors from the control centre.

Serial-to-fibre converters are generally used in pairs, and Moxa provides both standalone products and chassis solutions for high-density media systems. Available products include the ICF-1150 series, which is an industrial serial-to-fibre converter with a wide operating temperature of -40 to 85ºC. In addition, the NRack System chassis solution is used in the TNH's control centre. The advantage of the NRack System is that slide-in modules can be plugged into the chassis to save valuable cabinet space and mounting effort.
