Transportation

The annual update for the Cisco Portfolio Explorer for Transportation has just been released, featuring five industry themes and sixteen associated use cases. Covering roadways and intersections, rail, airports, and ports, the tool now provides an extensive look into how Cisco is driving a more connected and secure transportation environment.

The need to connect, secure, and optimize our critical roadways and intersections infrastructure is now clearer than ever. Roadways and intersections are being connected to traffic management centers allowing the collection of roadside data for analysis, real-time control, and visibility.

The railway industry is increasingly embracing new systems and technologies to enhance operational efficiency, safety, and connectivity. As operators move on from their legacy systems, there is an ever-increasing number of connections and complexity to deal with from a security standpoint.

Network connectivity for roadway devices is increasingly important as traffic engineers are tasked with connecting new devices and systems, along with existing infrastructure, as part of an intelligent transport system (ITS). As traffic congestion and the number of pedestrians and connected cars on the road are all increasing, network connectivity will enable real-time use cases to realize new transportation goals.

Dynamic roadway operations require a thorough approach to cybersecurity to realize benefits such as reducing traffic congestion, limiting carbon emissions, and improving public safety.

Airport operators are continuing their post-pandemic digital transformation journey by improving operations and driving towards sustainability targets, all while enhancing the travel experience for passengers. In this episode of the Coffee and Conversations podcast, the Cisco transportation team discusses what is taking place in airports across the globe and what innovations and technology are shaping their future.

Many organizations are not aware of powerful climate laws and the funding associated with them, much less how to secure these funds and drive their sustainability goals. There is an unprecedented opportunity for public and private sector organizations to transform their operations, reduce their emissions, and contribute to the global effort for more sustainable development.

Ubiquitous and reliable 5G connectivity is key to unlocking next-gen transportation networks and applications, and not just for a seamless user experience. It is mission-critical for ensuring safety across the entire transportation ecosystem. Managing quality of service (QoS) across Wi-Fi, public and private 5G will ensure reliable and secure connectivity across transportation use cases.
