Dot Systems, Inc. history

The Federal Aid Highway Act of 1952 was the first to authorize federal funds specifically for interstate construction.

The federal share of interstate construction increased from 50 to 60 percent with the passage of the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1954.

Two years later, at the height of the Cold War, President Dwight D. Eisenhower recognized the importance of the national highway system for defense by promoting the passage of the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956.

In 1957, the Hammanasset Connector was completed, as was the Bissell Bridge between Windsor and South Windsor.

The turnpike officially opened to general traffic on January 2, 1958, although several sections were incomplete, including the Byram Bridge connecting Connecticut with New York.

The county form of government was abolished by the General Assembly in 1959.

The entire length of the Hartford-Springfield Expressway, the first segment of interstate completed in Connecticut, opened in 1960.

Many of these projects were the result of Public Act 605 in 1961 which appropriated $150 million in supplemental highway funds.

THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY ACT OF 1962 AND THE FORMALIZATION OF PLANNING

In 1963 the state conducted its most extensive road building program-39 miles of new road were opened and 75 more miles were started.

A data processing center had been established by 1964.

Until December 31, 1966, the commuter rail service was publicly operated, funded two-thirds by HUD and one-sixth each by Connecticut and New York.

Dot System was founded at the end of 1990 by a group of designers with different and significant experiences in the development of products and solutions for the industrial, civil, and computer peripheral sectors.

In 1991 Dot System develops a flat-screen console for industrial application and, starting from these products, it soon developed the first graphic terminal intended for the driving cab of rail vehicle.

In 1999 Dot System finalizes the development of its “TCN” (“Train Communication Network”) software ‘stack’ for applications on the “MVB Bus” (‘Multifunctional Vehicle Bus’), totally compliant to the standard IEC61375-1 which was being enforced exactly in that period.

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) was established within the Department of Transportation on January 1, 2000.

In 2002 Dot System researched, developed and patented a very high brightness and high reliability backlight system for 10.4 inches ‘LCD-TFT’ Displays.

The PHMSA Briefing Room page provides access to Congressional Testimony given by PHMSA staff from 2006 - present.

In the 2008 Dot System developed a flexible and modular architecture for ‘RIOM’ and ‘TCMS’ devices.

In the 2010 Dot System presented the new generation of high temperature range, high reliability intelligent graphic monitors for the train Driving cab.

In the 2011 Dot System developed its own technology for low and medium power, Power supply with a ‘universal rail’ input voltage (from 14 to 160 Volt).

The 2015 was the time for a MVB Logger, a device dedicated to the acquisition, storage and transmission of diagnostic data on a rail vehicle.

It was in 2016 that an important phase of change began for Dot System, orienting all the resources assigned to R&D on different projects, but all collected under a single ‘umbrella’, Multimedia management.
