The R&D project Alfried (Logistics Automation and Networked Driving at the Friedrichshafen Proving Ground) is developing intelligent technologies for controlling and monitoring traffic within the city. Both passengers and network operators should benefit from unobstructed, safe, noise and emission-reducing transportation.
Crucial for the future of autonomous driving is the **control center, which collects and verifies all traffic data and provides relevant information in real time to road users or their automated systems and makes appropriate recommendations for action. In order to protect sensitive data and systems in the control center, IHSE equips the transmission system with multi-level security features.
KVM in Smart Cities
The Smart City Control Center, built for this purpose, is an open demonstration center that simulates real-world operations and allows different concepts to be developed and tested.
The IHSE KVM system is used to control and access multiple computers. In addition to centralized monitoring, the KVM system provides a flexible working environment where operators can seamlessly switch between different computers and applications and share them without having to keep spaces separated in the workflow, and the KVM system handles publicly accessible information and sensitive data with special security requirements.
Maintain network security
Data theft protection is critical for smart city control centers, and an attack can have huge consequences for the entire infrastructure: traffic chaos, power outages, or restrictions on emergency services. As a result, this groundbreaking control center had to meet future security requirements that were not yet considered by the current commercial control center concept.
In order to protect sensitive data and systems in the control center, IHSE equips the transmission system with multi-level security features. KVM settings prevent unauthorized access by placing sensitive devices and computers in a secure server room.
