ITS World Congress 2022 in Los Angeles, CA, exploring “Transformation by Transportation”, is the global event that brings together world leaders, practitioners, policy makers, researchers, and private industry to advance and unite the intelligent transportation systems (ITS) industry.

In partnership with Intel and SuperMicro, SmartPoint.IO showcased how its interactive hubs bring intelligence to the network edge, solving for transportation-related needs including vulnerable road user safety, traffic analytics, and real-time messaging and alerts.

The SmartPoint.IO digital kiosk serves as a convenient concealment solution for a high-powered edge compute server. This server, designed and engineered by Supermicro and equipped with an Intel Xeon Gold processor, is responsible for running applications and consolidating data workloads from nearby connected IP cameras and LiDAR sensors on the smart lighting pole located next to the kiosk.

The collaboration involving Intel, Supermicro, Toro Blanco Group, WiPro, and Ouster exemplifies the convergence of multiple point solutions into a unified platform, delivering financial and outcome-driven benefits. This intelligent edge solution enables Departments of Transportation to gather comprehensive real-time data about their roadways. The data is analyzed securely and locally on the edge, eliminating the need for expensive data transport fees and minimizing latency.
