Cost-effective ITS Solutions for Highways
The Introduction:
The role of Highways in a country’s economy or even the progress is nothing less than pivotal .Highways help transport all sought of materials from food to natural raw materials to more crucial ones such as oil ,metals etc - the entire wherewithal to run and building a country. Due to the criticality, it is imperative to ensure that the highways are free from any sought of impediments such as traffic congestion, safety threats to passengers etc.

The Challenge:
In order to keep the highways of a country secure and congestion free usually an Intelligent Transportation system is implemented, that constitutes of advanced traffic signal control, and speed meters including many different components – from weather sensors, to dynamic messaging signs, to video surveillance cameras. Current highway based surveillance and transportation systems rely on wire line networks to transport the video. But as networks expand more cameras means more trenching and cabling of fibers and wires resulting in a cost prohibitive and often impossible proposition.
The Solution:
Proxim Wireless effectively binds all the different components of a transportation system over hundreds of square miles, with an end-to-end wireless network thereby enabling a wide variety of high uptime and bandwidth intensive applications ranging from real-time traffic updates to traffic officials and residents of the city over websites to warning drivers of road condition, accidents and detours via dynamic messaging signs boards, hence facilitating a scalable, reliable and a costeffective Transportation system.
