The world’s most cutting-edge and advanced transportation projects rely on Moxa’s solutions.
Moxa Intelligent Transportation Solutions
Roadway safety and efficiency depend on real-time information and communication more than ever. To increase traffic flow, reduce congestion, and improve incident response times, Moxa provides Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) solutions that collect and transmit real-time information about traffic conditions to traffic management centers and motorists. From roads to tunnels to bridges, intelligent transportation systems rely on a myriad of data about traffic flow, speed, and density, as well as weather conditions, and surveillance video. Moxa’s industrial Ethernet solutions facilitate real-time convergence of various sensor data, voice, and video by providing high-speed throughputs and a wide range of network interfaces, such as Ethernet, WLAN, serial, PoE, DSL, and various video compressions.
The comprehensive solutions employ a wide array of Ethernet connectivity, I/O data acquisition, and embedded computers. All solution ingredients address the need for extreme reliability, smart redundancy, easy manageability, and a lower total cost of ownership.

Applications
Transport Management Systems
An ATMS needs a multi-layered network to interconnect the large number of monitoring nodes that deliver traffic and road condition data and signaling information to and from centralized controllers. Top layer full-Gigabit Ethernet switches can be used to aggregate multiple lower level 10/100 Fast Ethernet switches housed in wayside cabinets onto high capacity SDH or 10G links. The entire network needs to be resilient and redundant enough to ensure that data gets transmitted even when faced with network failures or unanticipated data bursts that exceed the network’s capacity. Furthermore, the entire network needs to be easily managed and serviced using a straightforward management platform that can be remotely operated from a central control location.
Tunnels
Intelligent transportation solutions for tunnels require an integrated solution with total reliability. Tunnels not only require management of vehicle traffic, but also control of multiple infrastructure systems. For very long tunnels, this means an integrated system that can control ventilation, road and signage lighting, fire detection and alarms, redundant power systems, air quality measurements, water drainage systems, and emergency communications such as emergency telephones. To meet tunnel safety requirements, an operator needs to both monitor and control traffic. The operator must be able to detect tunnel incidents immediately to minimize risk and to determine if vehicles must be prevented from entering danger zones, or to clear traffic from the tunnel as quickly as possible.
Toll Collection
Electronic Toll gantries make use of open road tolling (ORT) to allow travelers to pay tolls without stopping at toll booths. When a vehicle enters the toll road, sensors installed atop the gantry detect the transponder or GPS device already installed on the vehicle, and then use the vehicle’s ID to debit their account. When a non-compliant vehicle enters the toll road, cameras mounted on the gantry send the license plate image of the offending vehicle to the control room for payment collection processing.
