IoT Network Streamlines State DOT Traffic Monitoring
GCN, Tuesday, May 30,2023
With a cloud-based network management platform and cellular routers, the Indiana Transportation Department can easily monitor its statewide network of internet-of-things devices.
The Indiana Transportation Department (INDOT) is using cellular routers and a cloud-based network management platform to securely and reliably connect thousands of internet-of-things devices, such as traffic signals, weigh-in-motion stations and weather information systems.
'My goal was to streamline the process from installation and setup all the way to final configurations and dumping the information into other databases and software,' Randy Myers, intelligent transportation systems director at INDOT, said of modernizing the network infrastructure in the past two years.
