What are the applications of flash storage in smart city solutions?

With flash storage, which ensures non-volatile memory, applications of intelligent transport and intelligent traffic management systems can function better.

 

IoT-based devices like sensors and cameras cannot operate without reliable storage. Since most smart city solutions have to work in scenarios where the power supply could be erratic, they need a reliable storage solution even when there are power outages. There are many applications of flash storage in NEC India’s smart city solutions.

With flash storage, the reading of data is faster than usual. This can be helpful in smart city solutions, which require faster processing of data. 

AI analytics software like automated number plate recognition (ANPR) and red light violation detection (RLVD) can work better with a flash storage solution. ANPR and RLVD are integral components of intelligent traffic management systems.

IP-based cameras installed at major traffic junctions can utilize flash storage solutions. Flash storage solutions offer non-volatile memory.

Other smart city solutions for facilitating the transport of passengers require memory storage. Automated fare collection systems can operate with greater accuracy with flash storage.

First of all, it requires reading of passenger data from the chip-based smart card. Secondly, the operator needs to have all the data regarding traveling. Similarly, the automatic vehicle location system, a crucial sub-system of intelligent transport management system, will not be able to function without a memory.

The depot management system and vehicle schedule and dispatch management system require dependable memory storage. Flash storage ensures that the memory doesn’t get lost even when there is no power backup.

Duty roster preparation will require an efficient memory storage solution so that the staff has access to duty charts. Reliable storage is required to keep the public transport utility on schedule because the staff needs to have access to timings.

Logging grievances like rash driving is an essential part of improving the passenger experience. But, without a reliable storage solution, this will not be possible, and flash storage can help.
