Transportation

Transportation applications play an important role in keeping highways and other transportation lines running safely and efficiently. Traffic monitoring and control systems often require data-distribution among hundreds of nodes. These types of applications need a high-reliability communication infrastructure that supports automatic failover, network configuration changes, and tunable Quality of Service (QoS). RTI's middleware complies with Object Management Group (OMG) Data Distribution Service for Real-Time Systems (DDS) standard. DDS is well-suited to the integration of large-scale transportation systems because it provides source-code portability, multi-vendor interoperability and extensive control over real-time QoS.

RTI provided Wi-Tronix with a distributed data middleware solution that enabled Wi-Tronix to offer its customers new features and reliability in mobile asset management across a network spanning thousands of miles.

City of Tokyo

The City of Tokyo wanted to develop a Metropolitan Highway Line traffic monitoring and information system. The system consists of a central information-control center and hundreds of information kiosks scattered along the highway system. They needed a data-distribution communications system to deliver constant updates to the kiosks and to gather traffic condition data in the control center. Field-proven RTI Data Distribution Service fit their problem and helped them deliver the system on time and on spec.
