GE MDS wireless networks are in place around the world assisting in the management, monitoring, and control of various transportation systems. GE MDS radios are being used to improve the management and maintenance of highways and railways, as well as improving safety conditions for those who work in these environments.

Traffic System Monitoring and Control
Using wireless RF technology in traffic management has been a common practice for many years. More and more traffic communications groups are making the move to wireless providing them with a low-cost, easy-to-use solution for the maintenance and management of highways and roads.

Typically, GE MDS radios allow for various intersections to be monitored and managed based upon traffic flow at various times throughout the day. Traffic management through event driven video and traffic preemption systems is growing quickly.

GE MDS radios are also being used to monitor road conditions in bad weather and for the dispatch of salt trucks when needed, as well as to gather data for analysis of road usage. Counting cars can be done remotely by loops in the pavement that record the number of vehicles and then the information is sent wirelessly to a central collection point.

Wireless Railway Communications
Some of the largest railroads in North America (considered Class I railroads) are rapidly deploying wireless technology, making communications along the railways safer and more efficient.

Whether it is enabling wireless code line replacement for such functions as clearing signals and moving switch points, or remote control locomotive (RCL) technology, GE MDS provides railroads worldwide with wireless solutions for monitoring and control, as well as wireless linking between various segments of their infrastructure.
