The city development authorities were looking to upgrade their old infrastructure of traffic lights, which were based on old
technology. Due to this traffic jams were common, which urges the need to put manpower in action to control the traffic properly.
This was some times hard to manage and ends up with hike in expenses. Centrally controlling the lights can reduce these manual
human visits and provide better information to public. |

After analyzing the situation, SUNIX team come up with the idea that they can use their current telephone system as alternative
communication media. To control the serial devices, they can use Industrial Device Server from SUNIX, which can be connected
to central management station via ADSL routers at remote areas. At each location IDS-1011 was the right choice to provide serial
connectivity to traffic lights, pedestrian signals and message display boards.
In case of any change is required, management at central control send the signal to end devices through ADSL routers. They can
change the signal timing for specific reasons or rush hour timings that can keep the traffic going smoothly. In case of any re-routing
or any cautionary message, the instructions could be communicated to drivers through display boards.
This is intelligent system provide safer roads and stress free driving, while reducing the operating costs. Keep in mind, this solution
is ready to connect with Ethernet once it will be deployed. It will save the current investment for future enhancements. |
