Intellimesh, Inc has conducted a beta test of its product for City Officials, College Officials, and Homeland Security.
Imagine…. Smart, Safe, Cities™ that have emergency notifications such as Amber or severe weather alerts delivered directly to commuters in their cars; city traffic managed wirelessly, communicated intersection to intersection seamlessly; emergency vehicles enabled with the capability to manage traffic signals while en route to the accident scene; emergency responders being able to get on site in a matter of seconds, not minutes; city-wide evacuation and traffic signals automatically handling traffic flow, not just on main thoroughfares but through side streets as well. Imagine a city so smart it knows when the ball game is about to end and it adjusts to handle 75,000 fans on their way home. Imagine a city so safe that in the event of a terrorist attack, emergency personnel can notify residents, evacuate a city and respond to disasters in seconds. Imagine a Smart, Safe, Cities™ with a self-forming, self-healing network that is available at all times to cars, buses, trucks, trains and even helicopters. Now, imagine this Smart, Safe city is a fraction of the cost to install and maintain than traditional wired systems. A Smart, Safe city is more efficient, more reliable with virtually limitless capabilities for public safety, communication and even city revenue. Imagine… Smart Safe Cities™.
Intellimesh has accomplished these ideals, and has now proved that its technology works perfectly. Intellimesh is a technology company that provides small to medium sized cities affordable and mesh-based Internet services, creating Smart, Safe, Cities™ nationally and internationally. The implementation of these services will provide these cities with wireless Internet capabilities, intelligent vehicular traffic-management systems, and a host of other integrated broadband Internet services.
Homeland security and disaster preparedness concerns are also helping to drive both funding and increased urgency for ITS deployments. Incidents resulting from natural or man-made disasters can severely strain existing transportation infrastructures as the public tries to evacuate en masse. To address these issues as well as other demands, many new traffic and environmental monitoring devices are being developed to provide real-time information to transportation engineers.
Traditional wired intersections costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to install. Digging trenches, running cable with all the associated expense involved, ultimately means an intersection that is largely isolated, thus requiring traffic engineers to manually communicate and modify the traffic flow. And, in the end, after all the investment in installation costs and man hours, it is still operating solely as a traffic light at an intersection. Intellimesh’s Smart, Safe, Cities™ system is a wireless, fully integrated mesh network capable of automatically detecting traffic demands and adjusting accordingly, notifying commuters of emergencies, evacuations and traffic alerts, and allowing emergency responders high speed control over intersections, getting them on the scene in seconds, not minutes. In addition, Intellimesh’s Smart, Safe Cities programs provide cities and municipalities with potential revenue streams by providing internet based services to their citizens. Smart, Safe, Cities™ systems are a fraction of the cost to install and maintain over existing antiquated wired systems, with the added benefit of increased and virtually limitless functionality. Intellimesh has the capability of bringing current, out-dated systems into the 22nd century, while dramatically increasing community safety procedures and control factors.
