Advantech Intelligent Transportation Systems Specifically Designed for AFC Controller

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are advanced systems which enhance productivity and aim to provide ground-breaking services by integrating advanced information and communication technologies (ICT) into the transportation infrastructure and vehicles.

Advantech introduces a series of ITA industrial PCs specifically targeted for automatic ticketing and fare collection systems. These rugged computers provide users intelligent, high-performance operating platforms that control automatic gate machines, ticket vendors, and booking office machines with high demands for accuracy, dependability, and durability.
 
ITA-1710 and ITA-1910 are fanless, compact-size industrial PCs that Advantech recommends specifically for service as AFC controllers, or in automated ticketing systems. Featuring an Intel® Atom™ D525 dual core processor, and a plentiful array of I/O ports, these compact systems are built to handle the demands of 24/7 public service.
 
High I/O
ITA-1710 supports 10 COM ports and 6 USBs, while ITA-1910 supports 16 COM ports and 8 USBs.  These systems accommodate card readers, proximity sensors, ticket printers, gate controllers, assorted switches, and information displays with connectors to spare.
 
Built Tough
ITA-1710 and ITA-1910 feature fully sealed and fanless chassis design, with all high heat chips in direct contact with the extruded aluminum heat sink; ambient temperatures can be from -25° to 60° C. DDR3 Memory is soldered in place on-board for durable mountings that resists oxidation and vibration. The modularized I/O design minimizes internal cabling which increases vibration resistance and reliability.
 
Robust Power
These systems operate on DC input ranging anywhere from 9 to 36 Volts, making them compatible with most all DC adapters. They support NVRAM which retains data even in the event of sudden power failures.
 
Easy Maintenance
Tool-free, easy-connect CF/SATA DOM modules for convenient software and data updates. With all I/O ports on one side, these systems are optimized for easy access, assembly and maintenance, characteristics required for demanding AFC systems.
 
Ideally Suited
ITA-1710 and ITA-1910 are perfect for any type of automatic ticketing or fare collection system like transportation, entertainment, athletics and cultural venues. With long product life designed in from the beginning, these systems are built to work and keep on working.
 
Slim Version
Rounding out the series is the latest edition, ITA-1610 is perfect for tight-space applications with reduced I/O requirements, such as Passenger Information Systems.
