A Safer and More Efficient City of Lancaster, Today and Tomorrow

To contain the outbreak of COVID-19, many countries, cities, and communities have shelter-in-place orders to reduce the spread of the virus. However, critical transportation must continue to run for the city to maintain basic operations. For example, health care workers still need to commute to where they are needed.

With the Traffic Management Center (TMC) connected through a new fiber infrastructure, the City of Lancaster now has access to valuable data and can monitor operations and remotely address issues without needing to send technicians out to check and fix the problem.

“Moxa MXview comes in very handy for my team to manage the traffic network. It can be accessed through any web browser. We can upload the city map to view where Moxa networking devices are located and identify bottlenecks, making it easier to set network traffic thresholds.”
