Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) - the combined authority of the Liverpool City region - has devolved power and strategic responsibility for the transport, economic development and regeneration of an area of 1.600万人.
Working together with its constituent authorities and the local enterprise partnership, LCRCA delivers investments that have a real impact on local communities, in areas as diverse as transport, 就业, 文化, digital and housing.
Challenges
The authority’s aging network infrastructure was at the end of its operational life, out of manufacturer support and unable to support new applications. It was becoming increasingly difficult to introduce much-needed new technologies to the network. This included support for mission-critical Internet of Things (物联网), 比如CCTV, traffic 管理ment systems, fire and smoke detection, and SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition control system) in the road tunnels; as well as toll services like Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) and Intercom System integration. Additionally, the new system needed to be future-proofed to support ongoing development plans.
The entire transformation process needed to be completed while ensuring continuity of service both for operators and customers; especially for mission-critical systems like operational control, emergency roadside telephones in tunnels, back office communications, 票务, public address and traveller information.
Action
The ALE team worked closely with LCRCA’s IT team and key stakeholders for more than 18 months to understand all the requirements and roadmap, allowing them to design an optimal and innovative network solution and demonstrate how the ALE infrastructure would support existing and future applications and developments.
The resulting solution was able to accommodate the authority’s future aspirations, including ship-to-shore communications and connectivity for river ferries, new cloud application support and smart 票务 expansion for public transport.
