Future Mobility Park

All intelligence connected over secure, redundant, and reliable network infrastructure for autonomous mobility

  • Country: Netherlands
  • Industry: Transportation
  • Solution: Digital Age Networking, Mission Critical Networks, Networking As a Service, WiFi Solutions, IoT, SD-WAN

Future Mobility Park (FMP) is the first one-stop-shop testing service for autonomous vehicles in the Netherlands. A playground to test sustainable and innovative mobility solutions, testing is underway for a wide range of progressive and inspiring use cases. Current applications include autonomous shuttles, buses, ferries, drones and a delivery robot, a Hyperloop train, and AI camera testing to optimise road safety for all kinds of vehicles.

Smart technology monitored remotely from a control centre means the FMP team can simulate live scenarios to test new technologies and address anomalies, well in advance of introducing these autonomous vehicles onto public roads.

Challenges

As the Future Mobility Park must simulate real-life scenarios in order to identify and address issues, there is no tolerance for downtime. The entire infrastructure must function as a single backbone, with data security of paramount importance. To accomplish this, the test centre requires agility and flexibility to grow without high infrastructure costs or network shutdowns for technology implementation.

Action

Future Mobility Park partnered with ALE to ensure the integration of all smart technology in the network. The backbone network ensures proper transmission of all data and provides optimal security when onboarding IoT. Redundancy ensures a seamless user experience, maintaining network connectivity even in the event of a problem. Several switches, access points and SD-WANs were deployed to build the connected roads, providing a comprehensive and secure network backbone.

FMP deployed its entire network using the 'Network-as-a-Service' (NaaS) model. Based on an innovative subscription plan, NaaS enables the customer to increase or decrease the number of users in its network. The cloud management tool helps deploy and instantly scale the network in response to business needs.

  • Mission-critical network, establishing seamless connectivity between the control centre and smart mobility systems
  • Fully secure and redundant LAN, WLAN, and SD-WAN solutions, guaranteeing uninterrupted delivery of data streams
  • Zero Trust Network approach to safeguard against cyberattacks and breaches
  • IoT containment separating various functions such as Lidar sensors, traffic lights, control room, network management, employee Wi-Fi and guest Wi-Fi

Results
