iNode Pulse
Welcome to iNode Pulse. This documentation will guide you through everything you need to get started - from understanding the platform's core concepts to navigating its features confidently.
SMATS iNode™ is a powerful processing platform that uses advanced filtering and data mining algorithms to deliver accurate and robust traffic information from your collected Bluetooth and Wi-Fi samples. Your data travels through our API to iNode, where it is automatically broken down and analyzed - saving you time and eliminating the risk of human error affecting your data output.
By processing real-time data from sensor scanners or crowdsourced inputs, iNode helps you make data-driven decisions that can reduce delay times by up to 50% within your existing infrastructure. You can also update scanner preferences, such as activity level, and turn scanners on and off instantly from anywhere.
Navigation Bar
iNode's navigation system is designed to be clear and straightforward, making it easy to find what you need. The primary menu is a Vertical Blue Sidebar, where different tabs are stacked for quick access.
To collapse or expand the Navigation Bar at any time, click the blue sidebar icon on the left side of the screen.
