Application: In-vehicle Multimedia and Surveillance
The popularity of in-vehicle multimedia access is increasing with the evolution of digital content and distances travelled. Mass transit system or long-distance bus users can experience improved quality of travel when accompanied by music, video, and even interactive internet content. Also increasing in desirability is personal access to the internet. Wireless AP can be implemented on public transport to provide wireless internet services to passengers.
In addition, with growing concerns over security, the demand for in-vehicle surveillance technologies is also expanding. With the convenience and cost-effectiveness of Ethernet networks and wireless technologies, IP surveillance systems can be implemented on buses or trains to enhance passenger safety, fleet management, and traffic monitoring, especially in combination with vehicle positioning provided by GPS, delivering real-time driving status to operators and system administrators.
Given the limited space available in vehicles, meeting the various requirements of such systems is clearly a challenge. In-vehicle systems must provide multimedia content, along with data acquisition from both inside and outside the vehicle, with transmission of the data to centralized control facilities. Finally, the system must operate effectively under the conditions unique to moving vehicles, including high frequency of vibration and shock and severe temperatures.
