Cloud Integration and Data Management

GAO’s AVI systems implement unified cloud integration frameworks allowing seamless connectivity with ITS middleware, smart city platforms, and logistics management applications. Data from BLE, RFID, GPS-IoT, Cellular IoT, UWB, Wi-Fi HaLow, and NB-IoT devices is managed through:

• Schema-governed data pipelines for consistent ingestion.
• Role-based access control to protect sensitive traffic data.
• Event-driven APIs enabling instant access state changes.
• AI-driven decision engines for predictive congestion and compliance analytics.

Components and Models Within GAO’s AVI Cloud Architecture

• Tagging Layer: BLE badges, UWB fobs, RFID windshield tags, GPS-IoT modules, and NB-IoT trackers assigned to vehicles.
• Reader Infrastructure: Gantry-mounted RFID antennas, BLE scanners, UWB anchors, Wi-Fi HaLow gateways, and cellular IoT edge modems.
• Edge Router: Local compute nodes performing protocol translation and data buffering.
• Cloud Transport Layer: MQTT/HTTPS tunnels with automatic retry, compression, and QoS controls.
• Processing Logic Layer: Microservices for rule enforcement, EPC parsing, identity verification, movement profiling, and access decisioning.
• Data Lake & Analytics Engine: Central repository for longitudinal data, KPI dashboards, compliance reporting, and anomaly detection.
• Operator Dashboard: Browser-based interface for provisioning, monitoring, and fleet/traffic oversight.

Comparison of Wireless Technologies for AVI Implementations

• RFID: Best for short-to-medium-range, low-cost, high-throughput identification.
• BLE: Suitable for controlled-access environments and smartphone-integrated interactions.
• UWB: Offers centimeter-level precision for secure facility access.
• Cellular IoT / NB-IoT: Ideal for long-range, wide-area deployments with power-efficient communication.
• GPS-IoT: Provides real-time positioning for fleets and roaming vehicles.
• Wi-Fi HaLow: Strong option for long-range, low-power campus environments requiring robust penetration.

Local Server Version of GAO’s Automatic Vehicle Identification Systems

A local-server AVI deployment operates using on-prem data processing, site-contained event storage, and LAN-based communication between antennas, controllers, and operator terminals. This setup is suitable for facilities requiring air-gapped security or limited external connectivity. GAO supports both hybrid and fully offline modes, ensuring all identification workflows, credential management, and access decisions remain fully functional even without cloud connectivity.
