 Intelligent Devices, Inc.'s
embedded products are designed to provide turn-key solutions for
your
existing
traffic
devices.
Intelligent Devices Embedded Devices provides NTCIP
solutions to manufacturers. IDI's 1000
Series of Embedded Devices allows
for any Intelligent Transportation Systems device to become NTCIP
conformant. Intelligent Devices can upgrade older systems
to NTCIP, as well as assist manufacturers in new device integration.
The
1000 Series of Controllers can control all aspects of any ITS
Device.The IDI 1000 Series Controllers come in varying
sizes to control devices as small as cameras and speed detectors,
to devices as large as an overhanging interstate DMS sign. Combinations
of our controllers can power entire traffic management systems
erasing the need for complex proprietary systems.
All of our controllers
are completely customizable. This means that Intelligent
Devices can cater to exactly any agency, manufacturer, or integrators
needs on a case by case basis.
 Manufacturers
interested in NTCIP integration don't have to look any
further than Intelligent Devices. Intelligent Devices
provides embedded NTCIP solutions to Manufacturers who are distributing
ITS devices. For many manufacturers, developing NTCIP
integration is a time consuming, costly measure. Intelligent
Devices can provide source code, controllers, and designs to
manufacturers who are unsure of where to turn for NTCIP integration
in a matter of weeks, not months, and at a fraction of the cost.
NTCIP integration with Intelligent Devices offers the following
benefits
for Manufacturers: • Fraction
of Lead Time
• Fraction of Cost
• Open
Standards with NTCIP
The 1000 series can act as a stand alone NTCIP controller or
as an NTCIP translator in combination with a manufacturers existing
device controller. We also offer an embedded source code purchase
option, porting the software to the manufacturers existing software
platform saving substantial time and development cost.
Over the past ten years, Agencies
such as Department and Ministry of Transportations have invested
billions of dollars into ITS infrastructure. This led to
a rise in competition and a rise in firms developing their own
proprietary systems ‘better’ than other firms. Intelligent
Devices offers the promise of NTCIP integrity. Knowing
that a system will always be the same under NTCIP no matter what
ITS device is running will bring about the elimination of proprietary
systems. Intelligent Devices can take your agency from proprietary
to a system of open standards. Our engineers develop NTCIP
solutions that communicate with the proprietary system interface
and filter that language into NTCIP for the central system. The
development of our translators saves time and money for agencies.
In
recent years cities and statewide DOT have invested billions of
dollars into ITS infra-structure, and purchased numerous ITS
devices that operated under a wide range of manufacturers proprietary
communication protocols. Today most agencies understand the
significant interoperability and interchangeability benefits of
an NTCIP standards based system, but face the problem of dealing
with the existing inventory of legacy devices.
 The IDI 1000
series offers an immediate low cost NTCIP upgrade solution for
existing devices of all types, so the agency can move very quickly
to system wide NTCIP compatibility. IDI 1000 series controllers
can also be upgraded to include WebDirect capability
that enables the user to have direct monitoring and control of
any Traffic Device over the Web from any browser or WEB enabled
PDA.
An exciting recent addition to our embedded products range
is our Intelligent Snow Plow solution that provides a
revolutionary low-cost approach to the implementation of intelligence
in a Snow
Plough which also fully conforms to the NTCIP standards, providing
an integrated solution to managing de-icing and plough operations.
The only custom development required for the
IDI 1000 series Field Device Controllers is the interfacing of
the modules to the applicable field sensor or output device,
as the controllers come standard with:

The IDI 1000 series unique range of controllers can be used
to upgrade any existing ITS device to NTCIP conformance. The
1000 series comes in varying sizes; small sizes to control ITS
devices such as Traffic Sensors, CCTV and VSL signs, and a slightly
larger controller (approx. 4” x 5”) to control ITS
devices such as, Weather Stations, Traffic Signal Controllers,
Ramp Meters, and all types of DMS signs
