The 596 Thales Innovation in Hong Kong and its partner the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has been awarded a collaborative R&D project by the Hong Kong Innovation and Technology Commission to develop a big data platform with state-of-the-art technology. This will be used to prototype smart transportation applications, enabling current transportation challenges to be addressed: near real time crowd monitoring, predictive maintenance, etc.
The Thales Innovation Hub aims to examine the challenges of crowd management in transport facilities and the predictive maintenance of transport equipment in Hong Kong.
Its first project, for the Hong Kong MTR metro, which currently has large amounts of data at its disposal, began in August 2015 and aims to provide a ticketing data analytics platform to MTR for analysing the situations of train occupancy and platform crowding, in order to assist transport planning and reinforce marketing strategies. The project covers the current MTR rail network, as well as upcoming new lines and stations.
