Key Takeaways

Rn face of distributed ETC sites, InHand Networks offers a remote monitoring solution for ETC equipment, helps better manage and maintain those devices, reducing traffic congestion and improving travel experience.

Background

ETC systems automate toll collection on roads, bridges, and tunnels using wireless identification and transaction processing, reducing delays, staffing needs, and operating costs. But managing many distributed toll sites is difficult: each runs independently, on-site staff can’t fix every issue, and centralized teams may not respond fast enough. Centralized monitoring, maintenance, and management are essential to prevent faults, congestion, and service outages.

Customer Requirements

Real-time Monitoring of
Onsite Devices
Data of different devices such as cameras and controllers need to be collected and transmitted to the dispatch center for real-time monitoring.
Ensured Data Security
Transaction data are highly critical and sensitive that need encrypted tunnels for data protection.
Resilience for
Long-time Use Outdoors
The solution is expected to work for a long time in varying unattended environments, so it should be ruggedized enough.

Solution

InHand Networks remote monitoring solution managing distributed ETC equipment to reduce traffic congestion

The system consists of the field automation equipment (RSU, cameras, lane controller), InHand communication devices (ISE2008D industrial switch and IR315 industrial LTE router), and the traffic dispatch center.

Lane control equipment such as the RSU, railing machine, and ground sensing coil is connected to the lane controller through the ISE2008D switch. Data collected by the lane controller and the snapshot camera are transmitted to the management center by the IR315 industrial router through VPN over 4G cellular networks. The management staff can monitor the real-time road flow, keep a record of vehicles that do not pay, and guide traffic in case of congestions. They can remotely check the status of ETC equipment and respond timely to faults, and through preventive maintenance, reduce downtime and maximize equipment life.

Benefits

Fast and Reliable
Network Connectivity
The IR315 industrial LTE router is available with LTE CAT4 and has multiple redundancy mechanisms, delivering fast and reliable connectivity for real-time remote monitoring of ETC equipment.
