    Facility Management
  • GIS Railway VOIP Communication System
    GIS Railway in Italy was seeking to develop a VOIP system for their railway applications. They wanted an infrastructure that featured a redundant SHDSL line and allowed connection to a variety of devices, from modern IP interfaces to old analog telephones. This project was very important, as it would lay the foundation for their communications system for many years to come, with many upgrades and expansions already planned.
    • Traffic and Transportation
  • Train Safety Monitoring and Diagnosis System
    The Locomotive & Vehicle Research Institute of China has recently unveiled a Train Safety Monitoring and Diagnosis System that will be required for all new passenger trains built in that region. This new system plays an important role in ensuring consistent and reliable acceleration speed for passenger cars and monitors many minute details in passenger car operation. This not only guarantees safe and reliable travel for all commuters, but provides peace of mind to many citizens, thereby increasing the amount of commuters on the rail, which is of economic importance as well.
  • Metro Station Fire Alarm System
  • Expressway Tunnel Monitoring System
    This expressway tunnel monitoring system utilizes a distributed Ethernet-based networking control architecture and includes central monitoring system, zone controllers and field site controllers. The ultra-compact and high cost-performance controller greatly simplifies system architecture and connection.
  • PoE Enabled Devices for Video Surveillance Systems
    Video surveillance systems are quickly gaining popularity in transportation applications to ensure the safety of all commuters. However, there are always issues when finding ways to supply power to remotely located devices, and how to keep them operating 24/7 when they are constantly exposed to extreme weather. Recently a customer turned to Advantech for PoE enabled Ethernet switches to overcome these inherent distance, power, and reliability issues.
  • Application Concept - ECDIS Navigation Management System on a Marine Bridge
    Marine electronics have become more and more important due to the increasing use of automation & control systems on seafaring vessels. This trend is due to reductions in vessel personnel, increasing safety requirements and the advent of the electronic chart. A number of large corporate groups are developing worldwide to cater specifically to this market. When combined with electric propulsion, even larger single-company content is possible.
  • Passenger Information Display System (PIDS)
    For all mass transportation systems, efficiently communicating important information to all passengers is very important. Arrival times, departure times and weather conditions are all vital subjects, and to transmit such real-time data, the system must have a reliable backbone. By adopting Advantech's fast dual-LAN serial communication products as the core of their display solution, Taipei's Mass Rapid Transit system can now control and transmit real-time information from the control center to all local stations, providing accurate, valuable data to all passengers.
  • Human Machine Interfaces for Traffic Light Displays
    Like many countries, the Netherlands continues to grow more concerned with its density of vehicle traffic as the number of motorists increases. Creating traffic flow installations that ensure safe, efficient and environmentally friendly traffic and mobility is the day to day business of our customer, who is a market leader in conceiving and realizing mobility solutions as a systems developer, systems integrator, and service provider. Working closely with our customer we searched for creative and functional solutions to improve their traffic control systems.

  • Railway Signal Monitoring System
    Railway signal monitoring systems take advantage of high-speed information processing capabilities of a microcomputer to supply continuous, comprehensive and automatic real-time monitoring. As a result, they provide complete and continuous real-time data, which increases signal monitoring quality and further helps prevent accidents. Meanwhile, having such a large quantity of data can be quite helpful in analyzing accidents and reviewing equipment status. This railway signal monitoring system acquires relevant switching values (key operation, track light ribbons, switch position, semaphore status, etc.) and analog values (railway voltage, switch position, voltage of each power supply, etc.) to build a comprehensive database.
    • Wireless
  • Wireless LAN Communication System
    The biggest WiMAX telecommunication company in Japan, Hitachi Kokusai Denki, provides WiMAX service in seven major cities, and plans to extend its network coverage to 90% of the territory across Japan within the next few years. The most efficient way to establish transfer facilities for public wireless LAN is to establish them on rooftops of existing buildings. In the past this project would take a very long time and require a very large budget because it’s difficult to build such an expansive network system with standard power lines. To solve this problem, Hitachi Kokusai Denki has developed a new Wireless LAN data communication system, SINELINK 25G, with the help of Advantech’s new Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches.

The Evolution and Elements of Robust PC-Based Control
SUMMARY: The combination of declining PC prices and increased robustness of operating systems and softlogic control applications have resulted in enormous growth in PC-based control since the mid-1990s. But while the basic PC is standardized, not all PCs are equal – particularly when it comes to operating reliably in industrial environments...
