5151 ST Electronics (Info-Comm Systems) and 62 IBM Singapore have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate and explore opportunities to leverage transport data analytics to promote smarter mobility.

The MOU will enable both companies to develop a mutually beneficial partnership into new strategic growth areas in transport data analytics for exchange technical dialogue around their products and capabilities, specifically on the use of smart analytics for urban mobility solutions. They will explore opportunities to collaborate by leveraging IBM’s real time analytics capabilities and applying predictive and simulative capabilities on traffic and transit analytics for decision support and transport optimisation. They will also work to identify and leverage complementary capabilities to develop joint go-to-market offerings, explore possibilities for market and capability development and various forums to collaboratively promote the partnership.

“IBM is working with organisations around the world to make cities smarter with data driven solutions to attain new levels of insight and efficiency through analytics. Our collaboration with ST Electronics (Info-Comm Systems) leverages on IBM’s global expertise in transport data analytics. Through our involvement in existing projects with clients in Singapore, we hope to extend this partnership globally,” said Janet ANG, managing director, IBM Singapore.

“This partnership provides an excellent opportunity to leverage ST Electronics’ expertise and proven transport solutions, and IBM’s strength in smart transport analytics products and solutions. Transport data analytics will allow us to better understand commuting patterns in the development and support of a strong data-driven transport infrastructure, with the view to building smarter applications for optimal traffic management and enhancing the travelling experience for commuters,” commented Lee Fook Sun, president of ST Electronics.

    IBM and City of Lyon collaborate to create transport management centre of the future
    IBM researchers are piloting a system with the City of Lyon, France which will be used to help traffic operators in its transportation management centre to evaluate an incident and make more informed assessments about which actions would restore traffic flow. Using real-time traffic data, the new analytics and optimisation technology can help officials predict outcomes and analyse ways to resolve problems. The researchers say that, although traffic management centres have sophisticated video walls and colou
