Challenges
One of NDOT’s objectives is to increase safety on the state roads by offering drivers real-time information on road, 交通及天气情况. To achieve this NDOT needed to harden its data network to withstand the harsh Nevada climate and support a growing number of devices.
Action
展望未来, NDOT wanted to lay the foundations for its next generation Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), making it easier to connect and manage the growing mesh of Internet of Things (物联网) devices on the state highways.
The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch® 6865 offered the benefits of a hardened switch while supporting 最短路径桥接(SPB), 这是NDOT的一个关键要求. Another crucial factor in NDOT’s decision was the quality of support offered by ALE, including full access to the design and engineering team. The ITS network would help NDOT to fulfil its mission to provide a better transportation system for Nevada through unified and dedicated efforts.
