Flash Storage – Transportation Solutions

As smart transportation applications continue to multiply, the need for ruggedized Flash storage solutions used in these environments grows exponentially. Because so many of these applications must withstand extreme conditions, they need to possess significant resistance to shock, vibration and extreme temperature fluctuations. From navigation systems to surveillance and intelligent transportation systems, NAND Flash based SSDs and embedded Flash storage memory are expected to reliably read and write data irrespective of how harsh the environmental conditions might be.

In order to consistently operate in these harsh environments, Industrial grade NAND Flash storage solutions must have tremendous shock/vibration resistance, wide operating temperature range, low power consumption, health monitoring capability (SMART attributes) power loss prevention circuitry, robust ECC algorithms and specialized packaging solutions to insure rock solid reliability and performance.


Some prime examples of Industrial class transportation applications are seismic data collection, atmospheric monitoring, agriculture processing, railway control systems, avionics, commercial drones/UAV’s, maritime/military, ocean freight haulers, commercial trucking, and the list will continue to grow in the future as more and more transportation related applications demand high-speed, ruggedized, industrial temperature rated embedded computing systems.

Looking beyond the transport vehicles themselves, and the robust embedded flash storage solutions required to store and process that data, the next wave of innovation in intelligent transportation solutions will require even more low latency and reliable Flash storage in order to collect and analyze the massive amounts of sensor data, logistics data, tracking data, and intelligent systems that monitor and control their movements across the globe.


With the advent of technologies such as dynamic railway management, vehicle to vehicle communications, instant traffic management systems, intelligent vehicle surveillance and other intelligent transport solutions developing, the need for flash storage will explode in the coming years.

Centon Electronics is uniquely positioned to support systems designers of these advanced transportation solutions with industrial grade flash storage designs that incorporate the product safeguards needed to survive and perform reliably in these applications.
