Delaware DOT wanted to extend its traffic flow management and video monitoring at some of its more isolated locations. Many of these locations lacked fibre or high speed connections back to the DelDOT Traffic Operations Centre (TOC) and had serial connections to the traffic controllers in the remote traffic cabinets. Many of the video surveillance cameras at these locations also required serial connections to the legacy analogue camera controls.

To provide traffic control networking to its more isolated locations, DelDOT selected the DX900 Industrial Routers. DelDOT liked the DX900’s hardened package rated for outdoor use, and the product’s ability to offer all of the different functions DelDOT needed in one box. The DX900 offers four serial ports: one of which is used to connect to the 170 traffic controller in the remote traffic cabinet. Other serial ports are connected to legacy analogue serial camera controls. There is at least one analogue monitoring camera at each of these remote locations.
