Introduction
A school in Belgium wanted to implement a central traffic control system to provide a safe campus environment for their students. In addition, the entire system had to be solar powered. The plan was to set speed limit displays in the surrounding area and for peak hours, from 7 am to 10 am and 3 pm to 6 pm, the speed limit would be adjusted to 30 km/hr. Moxa's embedded computers are used as central controllers to manage the entire system.
System Requirements
Built-in web server for real-time control and remote monitoring
Front-end communication computers for logging and data processing
VGA display
Easy development for system integration
Built-in DI/O to monitor and control the speed limit and text displays
Moxa Solution
Each traffic sign uses Moxa's V468 as a central controller to manage the entire system. The V468 consumes 9 to 36 VDC, from solar power. A GPRS modem and a serial interface time controller?are connected to the V468 for real-time access and precise time mapping. A DI/O device monitors and controls DI/O data such as the speed limit and text sent to the end devices. Electronic panels display the speed limit and text through the VGA interface.
