To ensure reliable communication between tram and track and to enhance passenger comfort and safety on the new 14.5 kilometre tram network in the French city of Besancon, officials opted to use 97 Moxa’s wayside infrastructure network to manage the on-board communication network for video surveillance and passenger information.
The wayside infrastructure network was built as a multi-service Ethernet network using Moxa´s managed industrial Gigabit EDS-P510 Ethernet switches equipped with SFP connectors to build a redundant turbo ring topology and increase system reliability and the availability of the network backbone.
At the tram stations Moxa´s embedded V2402-LX computers control LCD and LED displays and audio equipment, process tram tickets and manage video recording. Moxa´s ioLogik R2110 remote I/O controllers control the state of the back-up battery in the kiosks, the audio amplifiers and the lightning arresters.
Aboard the trams, Moxa´s unmanaged TN-5308-4POE Ethernet switches build a linear Ethernet network and power the on-board cameras through their PoE ports. The switches are connected to the Moxa embedded V2426on-board computer to ensure consistent recording and broadcasting of audio and video data. Its dual Ethernet ports offer a speedy and reliable solution for network redundancy, promising continuous operation for data communication and management. The computer also accommodates the connection to the displays and speakers mounted on board as part of the passenger information system.
As the trams enter the depot, the V2426-LX embedded computer´s wireless modules provide wireless communication with Moxa´s AWK-3121 wireless access point via Wi-Fi. Throughout the day, when the tram is in use, the computers use 3G /HSDPA to collect maintenance data.
