Tracking for Public Transport in Dense City Environments
Innodisk and its subsidiary Antzer Tech partnered to address positional tracking challenges for bus networks in New York City. Due to the interference of GPS signals from tall buildings and metal structures, traditional systems struggled to provide accurate bus locations. The collaboration aimed to improve tracking accuracy, ensuring reliable real-time bus location data for commuters.

GPS Signal Interference
High-rise buildings can interfere with GPS signals, impacting accurate location tracking.
Route Calculation and Backend Integration
In the absence of positioning functionality, the system must calculate and display routes based on backend data for the customer.
High-Precision Positioning
Accurate positioning is critical, especially in complex environments like New York with many alleys and small lanes.
Heat Resistance
The solution must endure high temperatures, as it operates in-vehicle 24/7.
With dead reckoning functionality, Antzer Tech’s CAN Bus and GNSS Combo card ensures accurate tracking even in poor or obstructed GNSS signal conditions. Utilizing centimeter-level precision technology, it enables pinpoint accurate tracking. Complementing this, Innodisk’s M.2 (S80) 3ME4 MLC SSD offers a wide operating temperature range and industrial-grade design, allowing integrators to avoid concerns about overheating issues, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments.
Innodisk and subsidiary Antzer Tech were able to supply a public transport tracking solution for New York City buses.
