挑战
San Marcos Boulevard, the second busiest surface arterial in San Diego County, faced significant congestion and delays due to high traffic volumes ranging from 22,000 to 46,000 vehicles daily. The corridor, which intersects a major highway and is lined with businesses and schools, experienced congestion during four peak travel periods: Morning Peak (AM), Midday Peak (MD), Evening Peak (PM), and School Hours/Off Peak (OFF). Despite having a previously coordinated traffic signal plan, the City of San Marcos continued to struggle with traffic congestion, necessitating a more effective solution to manage the high volume of vehicles and improve traffic flow.
关于客户
The City of San Marcos, located in San Diego County, California, is a rapidly growing community known for its vibrant economy, educational institutions, and quality of life. As the second busiest surface arterial in the county, San Marcos Boulevard is a critical transportation corridor that supports a high volume of daily traffic, ranging from 22,000 to 46,000 vehicles. The boulevard is lined with businesses, schools, and residential areas, making it a vital artery for the city's residents and commuters. The City of San Marcos is committed to leveraging innovative technologies to enhance traffic management, reduce congestion, and improve the overall transportation experience for its citizens. By implementing advanced traffic control solutions, the city aims to create a more efficient and sustainable urban environment.
解决方案
The City of San Marcos selected McCain’s QuicTrac adaptive control system to optimize traffic flow on San Marcos Boulevard. This system was chosen for its compatibility with the city's existing controllers, cost-effectiveness, and ease of setup and maintenance. QuicTrac adaptive control provides real-time signal adjustments based on prevailing traffic conditions, making it an ideal solution for managing the high traffic volumes on the corridor. The deployment involved configuring the corridor into three adaptive groups for optimal performance. Existing infrastructure, including loop and video detectors and controllers, was utilized where available, and necessary communications and infrastructure upgrades were completed along the corridor. The adaptive control system significantly improved traffic flow by making real-time adjustments to signal coordination based on demand, resulting in reduced vehicle delays, stops, and fuel consumption.

Turning A Stadium Into A Smart Building
Honeywell created what it called the “intelligent system” for the National Stadium in Beijing, China, turning the venue for the opening and closing events at the 2008 Summer Olympics into a “smart building.” Designed by highly controversial artist Ai Weiwei, the “Bird’s Nest” remains one of the most impressive feats of stadium architecture in the world. The 250,000 square meter structure housed more than 100,000 athletes and spectators at a time. To accommodate such capacity, China turned to Honeywell’s EBI Integrated Building Management System to create an integrated “intelligent system” for improved building security, safety and energy efficiency.

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

Buoy Status Monitoring with LoRa
The Netherlands are well-known for their inland waterways, canals, sluices and of course port activities. The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure indicates that there are thousands of buoys and fixed items in and near water environments that would profit from IoT monitoring. One of the problems with buoys for example, is that they get hit by ships and the anchor cable breaks. Without connectivity, it takes quite some time to find out that something has happened with that buoy. Not to mention the costs of renting a boat to go to the buoy to fix it. Another important issue, is that there is no real-time monitoring of the buoys at this moment. Only by physically visiting the object on the water, one gains insight in its status.
