Modernizing Today’s Transportation Infrastructure
The transportation industry is at a pivotal point with aging infrastructures, a maturing labor force, growing world population and constrained budgets. RTI software enables the distributed intelligence and control necessary to alleviate current pressures by enabling connectivity within systems, between systems and with surrounding infrastructure. Real-time connectivity will forever change transportation and add unprecedented security, reliability, safety and efficiency.
Connectivity for Intelligent Transportation Systems
Today’s transportation systems need to be safe, reliable and secure. Many are also becoming more automated due to a need to move more goods and people with fewer man-hours. As the connectivity software for distributed and autonomous systems, Connext® streamlines the communications and control of transportation systems while providing a basis for automation and sustainable innovation.
RTI Connext, based on the DDS standard, is the real-time communications framework that will bring our transportation infrastructure into the 21st Century, connecting broad networks of people and goods while integrating data with intelligence and action.
