The Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) powered by Extreme's Smart OmniEdge™ technology provide real-time updates on traffic patterns, enabling safer, more coordinated use of the roadway. As a result, the highway system has reduced traffic incidents by 30 percent. At the same time, ITRCC is laying the foundation to deploy advanced transportation technology, such as digital speed limit signs that adjust based on weather conditions, wrong-way driver detection, and smart truck parking systems.
Indiana Toll Road spans 157 miles and is serviced by 22 toll plazas, five maintenance barns, and two administration buildings. The network is a crucial component of the infrastructure – it supports thousands of devices, including more than 500 IP-connected phones, 300 IP-connected cameras, and 150 automated video signs that are critical to maintaining operations, guiding motorists, and keeping roadways safe. Working with Qubit Networks to deploy Extreme technology, ITRCC can now better identify and resolve bottlenecks, ensure greater operational efficiency, and simplify network management, giving back valuable time to its IT team so they can focus on future-looking projects.
Key benefits:
- A reliable, high-performance network: With Extreme Elements™ from its Smart OmniEdge Solution, including ExtremeMobility™ and ExtremeSwitching™ technology, ITRCC benefits from greater uptime and a scalable network that offers continuous connectivity to power a diverse array of critical connected devices, in-house applications, and software management systems.
- Heightened security and granular visibility: Collecting tolls requires access to sensitive customer account information, making data security a priority. Elements like ExtremeControl™ NAC software integrates with Extreme Management Center™ to provide IT with centralized, granular visibility and end-to-end control of connected devices across the network. This gives the team the means to monitor all devices and applications that operate across the network with ease in order to protect valuable customer data and reduce security vulnerabilities.
- Simplified, automated network management: The Extreme Management Center™ Element enables ITRCC to automate and manage its network with a single pane of glass, gain insights into the performance of applications and the network, and ensure smooth operations and fast problem resolution. Streamlined management means the IT team can focus on higher-level strategy and take on more innovative programs.
