NIS Road Safety wIthout compRomISe.
Achieving the maximum of safety with a
minimum of personal resources. Robust safety
concepts are essential, especially when it comes
to the construction of new motorways and
carriageways or renovations and improvements
to existing networks. With NIS Road, safety
means integrated emergency call, monitoring
and safety systems for motorways, dual
carriageways, tunnels and galleries. Ascom
designs, plans and installs comprehensive and
co-ordinated components, and optimises
existing safety facilities in the case of upgrades
and retrofits.
NIS Road connects workstations, emergency call stations and
subscribers in public networks with one another. Third-party systems such
as video systems, fire extinguishers, emergency exits, etc., are all easily
activated and monitored from the operations centres. NIS Road implements
voice and data services on a single communication network, and does so
cost-effectively since the acquisition, operation and maintenance are
limited to a single network. NIS Road is networked using the following tech-
nologies: ISDN S0, ISDN Uk0, GSM (triband), GSM-R, analogue a/b and VoIP
(copper or fibre optic). The equipment can be powered remotely and
several call stations connected to one line. This means it is possible to install
call stations that are up to 8 km away from a mains connection.
ComNode is the core of NIS Road. It can be connected via an IP network
and adapts to both small systems and large-scale installations. NIS Road
also supports Ascom system operating terminals as well as commercially
available phones. With outside call stations, motorists always have a contact
possibility. (See diagram page 3.)

Alarms when it counts
NIS Road is configured using digital inputs and triggers alarms
whenever a change of state occurs. With the telecontrol module
both the visualisation and operation can be effected using the graphical
user interface of the NIS Road operating terminal or signalled to a control
system. The control systems are connected via an OPC-DA interface;
customer-specific interfaces can also be integrated without difficulty.
Radio dispatching
The radio dispatching module (TETRA, Tetrapol) expands NIS Road’s
capability to a fully fledged radio dispatcher workstation. Connected phones
or radio sets are able to communicate with one another. Media-specific
properties such as push-to-talk are also supported, as is functional
addressing.
Well managed
NIS Road is handled by a central management system. Commissioning
and maintenance are made all the more efficient by the remote
configuration and software distribution. For road works, call stations can be
remote-deactivated where necessary. The constant monitoring of the
ComNodes, transmission paths and terminals means that quick intervention
is possible if and when a fault occurs. Integrated test modules provide a
complete functional check of the entire audio path from the operating ter-
minal to the call stations, including their loudspeaker and microphone. As
it generates automatic messages to a control system or maintenance
centre, NIS Road can be seamlessly integrated into a higher-order
management system.
