WIMAX 4G FOR ITS/DOT

Reexamining how we travel from point A to point B is a critical step in implementing new technologies and applications into the transportation world. WiMAX 4G for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and Department of Transportation (DOT) provide the bandwidth power, 10Mbps and beyond, that 3G and cellular technologies cannot deliver and provides a modern platform for improving the traveler experience and improving the efficiency, safety and security of our surface transportation systems.

ITS is a combination of electronics, telecommunications and technology for the transportation sector designed to save lives, time and money. It does not pertain only to highways and road but all modes of transportation. Examples include systems for efficient traffic management, public transportation management, emergency management, traveler information, reduced traffic incidents, commercial vehicle operations, electronic payment and railroad grade crossing safety.

The implementation of WiMAX 4G into a transit environment can drastically reduce DOT operating costs and create efficiencies due to the flexibility and low cost of 4G wireless technology. AzulStar’s heavy experience in the transportation and ITS world provide a perfect complement for any ITS or DOT custom network solution.

WiMAX 4G for ITS and DOT can be broken down into 3 categories based on the application benefit for the DOT:

  1. Smart Traffic Management - includes traffic control, lane management, information dissemination, parking and event management and traffic enforcement.
  2. Surveillance and Detection - includes incident management, incident clearance and recovery, wireless enhanced 911 and mobilization/response, imaging/video, detectors, CARS 511 and information dissemination.
  3. Road Weather Management. This includes road weather sensors for pavement and atmospheric conditions, information dissemination and advisory with tie in to DMS for lane closures, variable speed limits and alternate routing, and also connection to real time traveler information.
