Cloud-based data collection showcased by Ericsson

At the 2015 ITS World Congress, Ericsson will highlight how transport ecosystems players can share data or partner to benefit from the increased amount of traffic data, and at the same time contribute to reducing circulating vehicles, traffic jams and accidents. According to Ericsson, traffic authorities today are dependent on limited sources of information for decision making such as road sensors and cameras, and mass media modes of communication for alerting drivers.

At the 2015 ITS World Congress, 5650 Ericsson will highlight how transport ecosystems players can share data or partner to benefit from the increased amount of traffic data, and at the same time contribute to reducing circulating vehicles, traffic jams and accidents. According to Ericsson, traffic authorities today are dependent on limited sources of information for decision making such as road sensors and cameras, and mass media modes of communication for alerting drivers. Meanwhile, commuters are increasingly using apps and driving connected cars that are generating useful information. At the ITS World Congress, Ericsson will demonstrate how the Connected Traffic Cloud can integrate a range of data sources, including from connected cars, Internet applications and road infrastructure, and how the traffic authorities will be able to reach out to transport vehicles and drivers.

    Drivers in Atlanta spent 70 hours in peak-time traffic jams last year. As the MaaS Market conference moves to the US’s fourth most congested city, we ask how Mobility as a Service can help. Colin Sowman winds down his window to listen. It is not by accident that ITS International’s first MaaS Market conference outside London is being hosted in Atlanta. The event is being supported by Georgia State Road & Tollway Authority and the City of Atlanta – and again not without a reason as metro Atlanta is looking

    There is a lot more that appears from this sector that is ITS on an international scale, once the surface is scratched. Over the past two months we’ve uncovered a surprising amount of technological progression hitherto unannounced to the transportation industry worldwide. For example, at the beginning of November we were at the Vision exhibition in Stuttgart. This magazine has followed developments from the machine vision sector for some time as advanced digital cameras and automated processing systems bega
