Smart Mobility
Enable efficient data management and keep cloud costs low in Smart Mobility.
Data in Smart Mobility: An Overview
Today, there are many ways to get from A to B – the landscape of smart mobility is expanding – incorporating new ways of using data to help us get around. The fast and effective use of data helps to make mobility of all types cleaner, safer, and more enjoyable.
However the existing paradigm of cloud computing lacks the real time and offline capabilities, to ensure that mobility users have a safe, seamless experience. Edge Computing is a critical tool to curb high cloud costs, improve user experience, ensure real time response rates, and protect personal data amidst increasing regulatory standards.
ObjectBox Empowers Edge Computing in Smart Mobility
Ensure Offline-capability and Reliability
Whenever you are mobile at some point you will not have an Internet connection. Many mobility use cases require offline capability – for example, while on the move, in underground garages, or in remote areas.
ObjectBox enables your applications to always work – not matter if the device is connected to the Internet or not, providing a seamless user experience. At the same time, ObjectBox ensures that data is reliably stored and never lost with ACID compliant transactions, the gold-standard in data management.
Sync Data and Save Costs
While Edge Computing has many benefits, many projects need part of their data in a central location, accessible to the cloud. With ObjectBox Sync, you choose what parts of your data to synchronize and when, keeping cloud costs reasonable as projects scale.
ObjectBox Sync also enables data synchronization directly between devices, facilitating reliable, safe and efficient Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) or Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) data transfer.
Improve Sustainability with Edge Computing
The number of IoT and Mobile devices is growing – imagine if we made use of these devices for storing and processing data, rather than sending all of our data to data centers. Not only does this improve energy efficiency (by reducing the burden on overtaxed data centers), it also produces inherently more sustainable computing architectures, encouraging the use and processing of data, reducing the amount of inoperative data stored in data centers.
Use Cases for Smart Mobility on the Edge
Railway
Operation Optimization
When layering, small changes in the environment need to be incorporated quickly and efficiently to ensure quality. Faster and more precise manufacturing depends on constant adaptation. The limiting factor currently is the I/O throughput. ObjectBox’ speed enables higher I/O throughput.
- Mission critical applications
- High regulatory requirements
- Availability is highest priority
Car Tolling
Infrastructure
In Open Road Tolling (ORT), the business model depends on the fast and reliable identification of cars passing through as well as the reliable and fast synchronization of this information to backend systems. ObjectBox’ fast and reliable data storage and synchronization helps to quickly identify car owners on site in real time.
- Real-time response need
- Millions of data points
- Synchronization to ensure all entities are up-to-date
Car Charging
Energy Load Management
Being able to monitor and control energy load management on a local level allows car charging providers to optimize their energy usage. ObjectBox enables this complex computing and synchronization on the edge.
- Local synchronization of load requirements
- Real-time response to ever changing variables
In Depth: Smart Mobility Edge Computing Case Studies
This case study looks at how Kapsch and ObjectBox collaborated on a Kapsch Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) Edge solution for the railway industry. The project enables railway operators to optimize their operational efficiency and asset management via rapid processing of real time mission critical data.
The use of Edge Computing is a perfect fit for modern infrastructure projects. In the context of car tolling, speed, reliable data storage and synchronization are indispensable, resulting in ObjectBox being an effective solution for today’s and future technological advancements.
