Texas Department of Transportation Standardizes on Rekor Systems’ Cloud-based AI-driven Roadway Intelligence Platform

Rekor Systems, Inc., a global AI technology company with a mission to provide data-driven insights that build safer, smarter and more efficient cities around the world through intelligent infrastructure, today announced that it has been selected for the launch of a multi-year program with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) for a deployment of its traffic management technology to improve incident response time and overall roadway safety. The contract calls for the implementation of Rekor’s cloud-based roadway intelligence platform at the TxDOT Combined Transportation, Emergency, and Communications Center (CTECC) facilities. The platform uses artificial intelligence and integrates data from multiple sources to provide more comprehensive and quicker incident identification than current methods. As one of the largest cities in Texas, the TxDOT Austin District operates a Traffic Management Center (TMC) within a joint-agency CTECC facility. Until now, the TMC has depended on roadway incident notifications through multiple siloed and disparate sources and has responded accordingly via information sharing, public messaging, and dispatch of TxDOT emergency and non-emergency resources. Using the power of Rekor’s AI-driven solutions, TxDOT will be able to use these existing data sources, together with multiple new data sources, for a comprehensive real-time source of roadway intelligence that improves incident response time and overall roadway safety for its citizens. The additional data sources include predictive high-potential crash hotspots, real-time connected vehicle data, and multiple other third-party data sources to alert the TMC about incidents including crashes, abandoned vehicles, roadway debris, and more. Armed with this real-time intelligence, TXDOT will be able to respond more quickly and to more incidents happening on the roadway, as well as to determine areas of high-risk zones allowing them to be more proactive in their efforts. “Improving the safety of transportation infrastructure in Texas starts with better real-time detection and understanding of the state’s roadway traffic trends and changes,” said Rekor President, David Desharnais, “We are pleased to help TxDOT and other agencies within Texas achieve this with our comprehensive roadway intelligence platform and actionable insights to improve traffic congestion and respond to incidents and crashes that impact the safety of its citizens.” Rekor Systems, Inc. is a trusted global authority on intelligent infrastructure providing innovative solutions that drive the world to be safer, smarter, and more efficient. As a provider of comprehensive, continuous, and real-time roadway intelligence, Rekor leverages AI, machine learning, and holistic data to support the intelligent infrastructure that is essential for smart mobility. With its disruptive technology, the Company delivers integrated solutions, actionable insights, and predictions that increase roadway safety.

Belgium’s Railway Company Ensures On-time Departures, Improves Security With HID Global’s Real-Time Location Service Technology

HID Global, a worldwide leader in trusted identity and RFID tracking solutions, recently announced that the national railway company of Belgium, NMBS/ SNCB, has successfully deployed a real-time location service platform with BEEKs Bluetooth® Low-Energy (BLE) beacons from HID to accurately monitor train location and ensure on-time departures. NMBS/ SNCB maintains and operates 3,607 kilometers of track and approximately 30 train stations throughout Belgium with passenger safety and on-time departures serving as key priorities. Prior to the HID solution, when an approaching train reached a preset GPS coordinate, an app on the onboard attendant’s smartphone would signals software at the station to start running the digital safety-check program to ensure passengers can safely disembark and the train can depart for the next station on schedule. However, many locations such as tunnels, have limited cellular coverage. When this happens, the train’s GPS location can appear as far as 10 kilometers aways from the station, thwarting the entire safety check process. “We knew we had to find a different way to mimic someone’s location within the vicinity of the station. That is when the idea of using HID® beacons to transmit a specific ID came into play,” explained Nathan Willekens, Innovation Project Manager, NMBS/ SNCB. NMBS/ SNCB deployed HID Global’s real-time location services (RTLS) platform and BEEKs Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) beacons on its platforms to ensure the safety check process would not be compromised. Now, when the system detects the Bluetooth device, it is given priority over the potentially inaccurate GPS signal. “We were impressed not only with the accuracy – we knew with more certainty that the train was in the location identified by the beacon – but also by the efficiency with which the beacons were able to operate and the area they could cover,” said Willekens. NMBS/ SNCB is planning the system to be deployed in at least 10 additional stations across Belgium. HID Global powers the trusted identities of the world’s people, places and things. They make it possible for people to transact safely, work productively and travel freely. Their trusted identity solutions give people convenient access to physical and digital places and connect things that can be identified, verified and tracked digitally. Millions of people around the world use HID products and services to navigate their everyday lives, and billions of things are connected through HID technology. They work with governments, educational institutions, hospitals, financial institutions, industrial businesses and some of the most innovative companies on the planet. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, HID Global has over 4,500 employees worldwide and operates international offices that support more than 100 countries. HID Global is an ASSA ABLOY Group brand.

NETGEAR Empowering Hospitality Industry with its Secure Networking Systems

According to a recent study of business and leisure travelers, wireless service is the top amenity desired at all hotels by 90% of respondents. Today guests expect ready access to highspeed internet and internet-enabled applications wherever they go whether on business or at leisure so they can check email, access work files, upload photos, engage on social media sites, watch movies, or listen to music.

Arcserve Expands SaaS Backup Capabilities to Protect Evolving Data Environments

Arcserve, the world’s most experienced provider of backup, recovery and immutable storage solutions for unified data protection against ransomware and disasters, recently announced it has extended its SaaS backup offering to provide simple, secure, and scalable data protection for various cloud environments. Arcserve SaaS backup gives organizations of all sizes and channel partners complete control of critical data by safeguarding against data loss and ensuring continuous availability with automated cloud-to-cloud backup and rapid data recovery. When data moves to a SaaS provider’s data center, many organizations do not realize they are responsible for their data, no matter where it’s located. Recent research from Arcserve found that almost half of businesses (44%) believe protecting and recovering data stored in public clouds is the cloud provider’s responsibility. Therefore, they don’t back it up, which exposes them to cyberattacks and data loss caused by human error, intentional deletion, and programmatic issues. Arcserve SaaS Backup provides best-in-class SaaS backup capabilities, including: Security by design: Immutable backups of cloud data, using a blockchain-based algorithm; data encrypted at rest and during transit; and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to ensure secure and reliable services. Scalability to future-proof SaaS workloads: The solution can scale seamlessly across millions of users with unlimited storage capacity to comply with regional, industry, or company policies. Data is always available with four copies of the backups stored in at least two data centers within the same region, guaranteeing data resiliency across SaaS-based workloads. Data is stored in one of five data centers located in Denmark (Copenhagen), Germany (Frankfurt), the United Kingdom (London), the United States (Washington, DC), and Australia (Sydney). Simple and easy to use: The solution allows easy deployment, with the initial setup taking less than five minutes before protecting data across critical SaaS workloads. A simple interface helps users easily navigate data and completely control the protected data. Fast retrieval and restoration of data: Universal restore view gives a complete overview of all backup sets. A search can be performed across all historical data sets to restore data deleted years ago or in the recent past. Ultra-fast search lets users quickly locate, securely preview, and restore data. The secure preview feature makes it easy to identify the correct data that needs to be restored, eliminating multiple restore iterations. Said Florian Malecki, Executive Vice President of Marketing at Arcserve, “As more organizations move critical data to SaaS-based applications for the flexibility and ability to scale, it is crucial to have the right data protection policies and solutions in place to keep that business-critical data secure. Arcserve SaaS Backup is the best weapon against data loss. It gives customers the peace of mind that their data is secure, easily retrievable, and always accessible with immutable backups for data protection.”
