(NASDAQ: CSCO, HKSE: 4333 ) is an American multinational corporation with 54,000 employees and annual revenue of US $28.48 billion as of 2006. , Inc. (Nasdaq:CSCO CSCO Cisco Systems Incorporated (stock symbol) CSCO Chief Supply Chain Officer ) today announced the Cisco(R) Intelligent Roadway Solutions, a unique set of networking technologies and services tailored for the global roadways industry. Cisco Intelligent Roadway Solutions are a component of the recently announced Cisco Intelligent Transportation Solution (http://newsroom.cisco.com/dlls/2004/prod_033004c.html), which also includes Intelligent Airport Solutions, Intelligent Public Transportation Solutions, and Intelligent Seaport Solutions. Cisco Intelligent Roadway Solutions help departments and ministries of transportation reduce traffic congestion, improve security, and lower operating costs through the use of innovative IP-based networking solutions that connect traffic management centers, toll collection and traveler applications together into a seamless system. "Due to environmental, space and budget constraints, traffic planners often cannot build new roads to solve traffic congestion, security, and pollution problems but must find new ways to make the existing roads more efficient and secure," said Neil Schuster, president, Intelligent Transportation Society of America. "A common communications network The transmission channels interconnecting all client and server stations as well as all supporting hardware and software. infrastructure is the foundation for addressing these problems and delivering an efficient, cost-effective Intelligent Transportation System deployment The deployment of a mechanical device, electrical system, computer program, etc., is its assembly or transformation from a packaged form to an operational working state. Deployment implies moving a product from a temporary or development state to a permanent or desired state. . An intelligent network allows multiple transportation regions and agencies such as police, fire, and rescue teams, to share information and communicate in real time to alleviate traffic congestion and protect the traveler." Cisco Intelligent Roadway Solutions at Work The New Jersey Turnpike Authority needed a resilient, scalable communications infrastructure that would support its modernization efforts after the consolidation of the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway The Garden State Parkway is a 172.4-mile (277-km) limited-access toll parkway that stretches the length of New Jersey from the New York state line at Montvale, New Jersey, to Cape May at the southern tip of the state. Its name refers to the state nickname, the "Garden State". . Working with Cisco, the New Jersey Turnpike Authority took advantage of 360 miles of statewide roadside fiber to improve process and operational efficiencies. The optical solution includes Cisco storage, security and hardened switch offerings. "The Cisco solution delivers significant bandwidth that has created an extremely scalable network. We extended our service to traffic operations centers, diverse data centers and connected all of our facilities to our main offices," said Michael Lapolla, executive director, New Jersey Turnpike Authority. "As a result, we have realized significant cost savings and are evaluating sharing the network with other agencies to gain further operational efficiencies and to better serve the public." The top traffic management goal for the Utah Department of Transportation (DOT) is to utilize resources as efficiently as possible. As a result of the Cisco intelligent IP infrastructure integrated with Transcore Advanced Traffic Management Systems applications, the Utah DOT has contributed to a 36 percent reduction in freeway delays, a 15 percent decrease in traffic signal stops and delays, a 25 percent improvement in incident response and clearance time clearance time, n the time taken for a cariogenic exposure to pass from the oral cavity; depends largely upon type of food ingested, efficiency of the lips, teeth, and tongue, and the amount of saliva present in an individual's oral cavity. , and a decrease in operational expenses. "A highly secure single network for video and data enables real-time roadside data to be integrated with our optimized traffic management centers to provide cohesive communications and better incident coordination with other agencies," said Richard Manser, P.E., ITS deployment engineer, Utah Department of Transportation. "The network enables rapid distribution of critical roadway information to the media and travelers."
