IoT technology interconnects various devices, sensors, and systems to collect and exchange data, enabling intelligent decision-making and seamless automation. Imagine a city where traffic flows smoothly, guided by real-time data that optimizes traffic signals and parking spaces. Picture buildings that automatically adjust their energy consumption based on occupancy and environmental conditions, reducing waste and carbon emissions. Envision citizens enjoying personalized services through smart applications, accessing information and resources with ease.
Surveillance solutions are a growing market. If we look around public spaces, more and more cameras are popping up on the streets, shopping malls, parking lots, leisure areas, and even around private buildings. Over the last couple of decades, security surveillance has become a hot topic in the public and private sectors. Data from 40 years' worth of research suggests that having a CCTV system notably decreases crime rates, especially in car parks and residential areas. They are also an instrumental tool in revealing the crimes that have occurred.
The average driver can spend up to 20 minutes trying to find a parking spot, which is not only a waste of time but can also test their sanity. However, these aren’t the most critical problems.
You see, whenever drivers are on the lookout for a place to drop off their cars, each of them wastes around 30% of gasoline per year, which in smarter words, stands for carbon dioxide emissions. Now, besides throwing money away on wasted gasoline, the most concerning side-effect of parking spot hunting is air pollution, which isn’t welcomed in the environment at all.
The specifics of this project begin with IP cameras mounted to street lights, which constantly transmit images of in- sight parking spots to cloud-based servers. After the images are analysed, the availability data of parking spots travel from servers to platforms like web and mobile apps, LED displays, dashboards, and third-party systems. This way, drivers can see available parking spots, their costs, and even make reservations. By providing convenience to the people, this project ultimately reduces parking search traffic and, consequently, air pollution.
✔ Providing uninterrupted network connectivity in a fire truck is a highly complex challenge. But it gets even more complicated when you need to power all in-vehicle devices without overcrowding the solution with wires and adapters.
✔ The challenge is overcome with the simple yet assured duet of the RUTX11 cellular router and the TSW101 unmanaged switch.
✔ The TSW101 is particularly suited to this scenario, providing network connectivity and power to in-vehicle devices via four of its five Ethernet ports supporting PoE+.
Since laptops, cameras, and navigation devices need network connectivity and power to forward collected data to, for example, a computer-aided dispatch system, the devices are plugged into the TSW101 automotive switch, which ticks all the boxes on the requirement list. Wonder how?
