Background

Continuous surging growth in urban populations creates a demand for urban mobility, a greater demand for faster traffic flow, improved public safety, and more innovative transportation. A good urban traffic management network will not only improve traffic safety and boost local economies, but it will also improve public health and protect the environment.

Smart road infrastructure, built on IoT and AI, allows for the collection and analysis of data to improve day-to-day traffic management, enabling a wide range of advanced applications, such as traffic flow analysis, smart traffic management, and violation detection, and assisting cities adapt for long-term sustainable transportation needs.

Requirements

Using IoT sensors, cameras, radar, and 5G-equipped technologies, data can be analyzed in near-real time to help ease congestion, prevent accidents, reduce emissions, and streamline traffic flow. A US-based AI LiDAR company collaborated with Lanner to design a rugged edge AI roadside unit. The hardware of the roadside unit needed to follow the below requirements:

  • AI Expandable - with capacities including near real-time traffic information and AI and optimization, traffic monitoring captures important traffic data, such as vehicle count and speeds, cyclists, pedestrians, and objects potentially blocking the roadway.
  • Powerful Computing and Connectivity - as computing power is pushed from the cloud to the edge, new opportunities arise for edge workloads that benefit from low latency, near real-time analysis, and connectivity.
  • Various I/O Connectivity - for sensors, alarms, meters, and PLC, multiple I/O ports such as RS-232/485, DI/DO ports are needed.
  • Rugged and Fanless Design – the gateway is designed to work in challenging environments, such as those found in large-scale cell sites. The gateway appliance comes in a fanless design and can operate across wide temperature ranges.
