Transportation
Increased efficiency, reduced fatalities, and cost-effective, integrated
systems are some of the mandates demanded of today’s highly
developed transportation technologies. Perle products IP-enable
a diverse range of transportation equipment to assist in maximizing
these technologies.
Systems that utilize information processing, communications, and electronics
such as Intelligent Transportation Systems, Rail Signals and Switches,
Dynamic Message Signs, Amber Alerts and Flight Arrival/Departure Displays,
all use Perle products to monitor and manage transportation and travel.
The advanced technologies used today provide congestion relief, incident
management, safety and alternate route notifications, in order to improve
transportation efficiency and increase public safety

Stories/Application Notes |
Department of Transportation (DOT)
Adds Variable Message Signs to Existing Network Thanks
To IOLAN Scalability
Challenge: Add Variable Message Signs
(VMS) to Existing Network while keeping existing traffic
controllers and serial to Ethernet device servers while
avoiding hard line construction costs.
Solution: Original Perle IOLAN Device
Servers were installed with scalability in mind, making
the addition a VMS straightforward.
Benefit:
- Reduced congestion and improved traffic management
- Avoided construction and hard wiring costs
- Eliminated risk of error - no Dip Switches

A Municipality Saves Costs When Adding Video Detection
to Intersections by Using IOLAN Device Servers
Challenge: How to implement new Ethernet
based technologies such as Video Detection while maintaining
use of existing serial based traffic controllers and
traffic management control software applications
Solution: Install IOLAN
Device Servers to consolidate video,
Ethernet and serial traffic controllers across one
Ethernet fiber
Benefit:
- Upgraded intersections with video detection
- Maintain use of existing traffic controllers and
software applications
- Avoided costly hard-line deployment

A City Implements a New ATMS While Leveraging Existing
Equipment Investment
Challenge: How to implement a new
Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) along with
the latest Ethernet-based traffic devices while maintaining
use of thousands of serial based traffic devices such
as variable message signs, signal controllers, roadside
sensors, lane control signals already in the field,…..
Solution: Install Perle IOLAN Device Servers in the
field to IP-enable the existing traffic control devices.
Benefits: The City IP-enables existing traffic control devices
in order to interface with both the new ATMS and
the new Ethernet-based traffic equipment. This way
the City avoids costly equipment replacement & leverages
their initial traffic control equipment investment.
