5163 Fujitsu is sharing its digital technologies with Autonomic, a subsidiary of 278 Ford Smart Mobility, to support the automotive industry in transitioning to Mobility as a Service (MaaS) models.

The partners will deliver Autonomic’s Transportation Mobility Cloud (TMC) and Fujitsu systems integration services to Ford Motor, followed by a rollout to other automakers globally.

Fujitsu says Autonomic’s TMC, supported by Amazon Web Services, connects to connected vehicles, mass transit and city infrastructure with the aim of coordinating a safer transportation network.

According to Fujitsu, the platform will assist automakers and developers in the advancement of connected mobility applications such as self-driving car routing, management of large-scale fleets and transit planning.  

Fujitsu will also deploy its data processing solution Dracena in a bid to help speed up the deployment of mobility services to customers through the dynamic processing of Internet of Things data from OEMs and insurance companies

As part of the agreement, Fujitsu will also offer access to its broader digital consulting, services and solutions as well its global sales network.
