Fiber Optic Network For Transportation Industry Applications

With the growth in technology, the intelligent transportation system (ITS ) is being implemented on roads and highways for traffic monitoring, security surveillance, surveillance violation of traffic regulations, parking management, license plate identification, and more.Fiber optic networks are critical for ITS. It can help the transportation industry with high-speed internet connectivity, high reliability, high security, and long-reaching coverage.
Benefits of Fiber Optic Networks in the Transportation Industry
A fiber optic network can provide several benefits in transportation industry applications. Some of the benefits include high bandwidth transmissions over longer distances, high reliability, high-speed internet connectivity, high security, low latency, future proof, simpler testing, smaller, immunity to electromagnetic interference, external noise, lighter weight, and easier to install and maintain.

Network Topology
ITS network topology handles immense quantities of data, quickly and efficiently. Only fiber optic networks can provide reliable, secure, and fast data. For example, road trips now include signals, sensors, cameras, fiber optic cables, and other equipment that collect and rapidly transmit data.
Applications Scenarios
The general application scenarios of fiber optic networks in the transportation industry will be explained below.
Safer Roads for Drivers
Automobile technology is helping drivers avoid bumper-to-bumper collisions, improve vision in poor weather, and alert drowsy drivers. More recent vehicles are equipped with computer capabilities that monitor lane movement, tire air pressure, oil levels, and maintenance alerts. As video technology is incorporated even more into the design of cars, trucks, and SUVs, the safest drivers on the roads will be those with vehicles that automatically change to literal bumps in the road. With the deployment of fiber optic networks and sensors, vehicles will interact with roads, and roads with vehicles to provide real-time information for self-directed adjustments without input from the driver. With the benefit that computers never get distracted, the safety of travelers is becoming more reliable because of high-speed internet connectivity.

Security Monitoring and Responsiveness
Video surveillance cameras are a key component of ITS, adding considerably to the network bandwidth demands. Video transmission for surveillance of intersections, ramps, and tunnels, incident detection or verification, and replacement of traffic signal loop sensors are becoming standard. For example, governments are very concerned about response time in the event of a critical accident or homeland security terrorist attack. Roadway surveillance, keeping tabs on which vehicles come and go – when and where – is essential to helping those in need and enabling leaders to make informed decisions.

Efficiency with Traffic Control and Clear Communication
Transportation systems using fiber optic networks provide solutions to congestion and other traffic control issues by monitoring real-time traffic conditions and using sensors and then communicating clearly with drivers. However, fiber optic networks offer a valuable component in the overall traffic network infrastructure. Modern networks require ever-increasing data rates to facilitate real-time communication between traffic control centers and a wide variety of remote devices deployed along the roadways.In addition, message signs warn of weather conditions, bridge wait times, speed limit changes, delays, and accidents. ITS controls the flow of traffic via traffic signals. All of these transportation technology improvements require distance between the site where the information is collected and the location where the information is stored. Fiber optic networks can provide security in a flexible, scalable, and rugged conduit when traveling along roads and highways.

Parking Management and Licence Plate Recognition
The parking management system includes controlling access, reporting parking space availability, taking payment, enforcing violations, and routing cars. License plate recognition - cameras can capture license plates and report the data to law enforcement organizations. They can capture running red lights, speeding infractions, and locate missing people or fugitives.

Conclusion
Fiber optic networks in transportation support high-speed internet connection, high reliability, and high security. Sun Telecom products and solutions provide the transportation industry with reliable and flexible conduit systems that serve today’s needs and future expansion.
