Far EasTone Telecommunication Helps Beicheng to Build a Continuous Power System for Traffic light

        Far EasTone Telecommunications announced on June 8 that it will build a "Traffic light UPS" at 187 intersections in Taipei City. The system uses two Gogoro smart batteries as backup power for the traffic signal, and with the exclusive and innovative power changing UPS design, it can maintain power in case of abnormal power supply and ensure the normal operation of Traffic light. Through the monitoring platform developed by Far EasTone Telecommunications, you can also instantly view battery supply status, receive abnormal notifications, and other information. At the beginning of June, 25 intersections in the first phase were completed, and the construction of the second phase project is currently accelerating, including high power consuming intersections such as Keelung and Pingtung, and Keelung Roosevelt, committed to improving urban traffic safety and grid resilience.

        Zeng Shiyuan, Executive Vice President of Far EasTone Telecommunications Enterprise and International Business Group, stated that the company has long been working in the field of smart cities and has created "green communication" solutions through "Big Data+AI+IoT (Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT))" technology and digital transformation experience, including energy management (EMS), carbon inventory, smart buildings, smart charging Microgrids and energy storage. In the future, we hope to accelerate the introduction of UPS into more counties and cities, and create a smarter and more sustainable resilient technology island.

        The UPS built by Far EasTone Telecommunications can maintain the operation of Traffic light for 2-4 hours after PoC verification; The exclusive power exchange design can be compared with the Electric motorcycles and scooters to implement "hot swap" power exchange. The battery can be replaced as usual to extend the service time of the uninterruptible system. In addition, the continuous power box adopts the first box type design in Taiwan, which is not only fully integrated with the signal box, does not occupy space, does not affect pedestrian movement lines, but also has advantages such as waterproof and dustproof, heat dissipation and ventilation, structural design safety, and has passed tests on sensitive earthquakes and mechanism power outages.

        The information collected by the system will be uploaded to the cloud monitoring platform via the "WVPN Internet of things (IoT) security communication", and Visualization will be displayed on the dashboard integrating GIS maps. Once abnormal conditions are detected, the system will automatically warn, assist managers to quickly grasp the information about intersections, electricity, events, etc., ensure the safety of intersections in an all-round way, and also avoid traffic congestion and vehicle idling resulting in a large amount of carbon emissions, Accelerate the realization of a net zero smart city.
