Attention: open in a new window.

A UK national transportation infrastructure project has been set-up to maintain over 4600 miles of core road network (motorways and A roads). The objective of the project is to develop travel information services that will improve utilization of the trunk road network through the provision of better information to road users.

GarrettCom’s Hardened mP62 switches in field cabinets and 6K16 managed switches are deployed along the Pinners Point roadway and in the Midtown Tunnel to relay information to the VDOT Traffic Control Centre (TCC). The traffic controller consults video cameras spaced along the roadways to pinpoint the incident site. GarrettCom’s S-Ring™ Redundancy Management Software facilitates rapid self-healing should a break in the Ethernet LAN communications ring occur.
