Why Advantech? There were four main reasons why Advantech's SBC was chosen for this device. The first was that Advantech provided a lot of helpful technical advice and support during product development, especially with LCD integration (see related story on front page ). The second reason was Advantech's good brand name. Because this was a government subcontracting assignment, this point was quite important. The third main reason why Advantech was chosen was because of the inherent competitiveness of its product. The fourth and final main reason was the high degree of quality of the PCM-5862L. These four reasons convinced this Korean system integrator to choose Advantech of several other potential product solution providers.

The
product can be used in either manual or automatic mode by law
enforcement officers to detect the speed of approaching or receding
vehicles. By using state-of-the-art laser technology and by taking
several readings per second, this system is able to achieve an
accuracy of ± 0.6 km/hr. Once a speeding vehicle has been identified, a crystal
Sclear image is produced on the spot or stored for future processing
(up to 7500 frames on a 2 GB HDD). Optional features include a
connection to an automatic data backup system and an automatic
vehicle register inquiry system.
Advantech's
contribution to this speed detection system consists of the PCM-5862L,
a 5.25" Pentium® MMX processor-based SBC with on-board VGA/LCD and Ethernet. When this
board was chosen by the system integrator in question in 1997, it was
one of the strongest, most feature-laden embedded boards of its kind
on the market. A Pentium® MMXTM processor provided the speed
and power necessary for the thousands of measurements and computations
performed each second by the device, while on-board VGA/LCD and Ethernet
eliminated the need for costly and cumbersome expansion boards.
