Embracing technology advancements in transportation

In today's world, the transportation industry is facing rapidly evolving demands. Whether integrating real-time data for fleet management, implementing advanced safety measures, or pushing towards autonomous vehicles, technological advancements have become vital for staying competitive. As cities expand and the demand for more efficient, safer, and smarter transportation solutions grows, the role of reliable, high-performance technology has never been more critical.

Modern transportation systems demand robust, scalable solutions that handle intensive data processing, real-time communication, and seamless connectivity between vehicles, infrastructure, and cloud services. Whether in public transport, fleet management, or emergency services, vehicle-based systems are expected to deliver outstanding performance, reliability, and durability under all conditions. A wider trend towards digital transformation and the growing reliance on IoT applications in the transport sector is driving these requirements.

Designed with specific transportation challenges in mind, the AAEON VPC-5640S is revolutionising in-vehicle solutions. Built to handle demanding environments and provided with advanced features, it produces the power, reliability, and connectivity demanded for today's transportation technology needs.

With a multi-PoE and fanless design, the device is engineered to withstand harsh environments, providing uninterrupted performance in vehicle-based applications. Its versatility makes it excellent for fleet management, telematics, public transportation, autonomous vehicles, and emergency services, where efficiency, safety, and seamless communication are paramount.

Fleet managers face growing pressure to optimise operations, reduce costs, and ensure safety across their fleets. The device rises to this challenge with dual LTE modules for real-time tracking and diagnostics, ensuring vehicles are always connected and data is continuously transmitted. The PoE LAN ports allow the integration of external cameras for constant monitoring of vehicle interiors and exteriors, enhancing security. Also, integrated GPS and G-Sensor provide precise tracking and data collection, helping fleet managers improve operational efficiency, monitor driver behaviour, and ensure compliance with regulations.

As public transportation becomes smarter, the demand for reliable onboard systems that can handle video surveillance, real-time monitoring, and secure data transmission has grown immensely. The device, with its defence-grade durability and wide temperature range, is ideal for these applications. Its TPM 2.0 security module ensures data integrity, making it a perfect choice for surveillance systems in buses or trains. With the ability to stream live video feeds and manage multiple camera systems, the VPC-5640S helps improve passenger safety and operational control.

The future of transportation lies in autonomous systems, where real-time processing, navigation, and data communication are critical. The 12th Gen Intel Core i7 processor and ample expansion options provide the computational power to handle complex tasks like navigation, object detection, and decision-making in autonomous vehicles. Its fanless, rugged design ensures it performs reliably in harsh environments, such as off-road terrains or fluctuating weather conditions, making it an excellent choice for self-driving applications.

The device offers reliable, high-speed connectivity and data processing for emergency services vehicles, where response times and communication are crucial. Dual 5G module support enables real-time communication between vehicles and command centres, while high-performance video streaming allows for real-time situational awareness. Emergency teams can depend on this system to manage critical onboard systems, stream live footage, and relay essential information, ensuring that decision-making is fast and informed during critical situations.

What sets the VPC-5640S apart is its defence-spec ruggedness. Certified with MIL-STD-810H for shock and vibration tolerance, it is created to thrive in the toughest mobile environments. This system can handle everything from extreme heat and cold (-40C to 70C) to rugged terrains. Its fanless design keeps dust and debris at bay, ensuring the system stays operational under all conditions.

The device also provides edge-to-cloud connectivity, making it an excellent solution for IoT applications in transportation. It supports M.2 slots for NVMe SSDs, providing fast data access, while the dual SIM slots and 5G module support enable swift communication between vehicles and cloud systems. This seamless integration permits real-time monitoring, diagnostics, and data processing, empowering fleet operators and transport managers with the information they require to make timely, informed decisions.

Key Features of the VPC-5640S include a 12th Gen Intel Core i7 Processor, DDR5 SODIMM x 2, Max 64GB, 2.5GbE PoE/PSE 802.3 af/at x 4, Dual LTE Module with SIM Slots x 4, a wide Operating Temperature, MIL-STD-810H and E-Mark Certified, and M.2 2280 M-Key (PCIe [x4]) and M.2 3052 B-Key x 2 (USB 2.0, USB 3.0) expansion options for added flexibility.
