InterDigital Launches oneTRANSPORT Data Marketplace
February 21 2018 - 4:00AM
InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC), a mobile technology research and
development company, announced that the company has launched the
oneTRANSPORT™ data marketplace as a commercial service in the U.K.
The commercial service features an actively expanding ecosystem
that currently includes Northamptonshire County Council,
Oxfordshire County Council, Arup, WorldSensing and Traak Systems.
The oneTRANSPORT data marketplace unlocks a new generation of
Intelligent Transport and Smart City benefits across the U.K. The
marketplace makes real-time data from a myriad of closed, siloed
systems available through an open, standards-based system with data
licenses, enabling the creation of new data-driven digital
transport solutions. Public and private sector organizations across
different sectors utilize the oneTRANSPORT data marketplace to
publish, distribute and consume both real-time and historical data
with each other to reveal insights and create new intelligent
transport services that deliver:
- More efficient transport network utilization:
better matching of transport services with changing journey
requirements and improved understanding and management of
disruptions;
- Improved traveler / customer experiences:
travel services that are focused around the needs of the
traveler;
- Better infrastructure planning: deeper insight
into travel patterns resulting in better long-term transport
investment decisions; and
- Greater integration with adjacent sectors:
improved transport efficiencies with benefits to health and social
care delivery, manufacturing, environment, energy management,
education and business.
“Digital transport is a key objective in unlocking economic
growth. In order to unlock this true value, transport operators,
local authorities, transport agencies, and service providers will
need to work together,” said Jim Nolan, Executive Vice President,
Chordant, at InterDigital. “The oneTRANSPORT data marketplace
enables data to be shared within a trusted ecosystem, unlocking
innovation, enabling new intelligent mobility services and
ultimately advancing economic growth.”
“We hold the responsibility of providing the best and most
efficient citizen-centric transport services for people in our
region, while sensibly managing public spend,” said Ian Achurch,
Head of Development, Infrastructure & Funding at
Northamptonshire County Council. “oneTRANSPORT data marketplace
enables efficient real-time sharing of our transport data with
neighboring regions and the wider private sector, unlocking
investment in services that benefit our citizens and travelers
through our region without straining our already stretched
budgets.”
The commercial service is based off of the two-year oneTRANSPORT
project, which brought together more than 300 different datasets,
coordinated eleven public and private partners’ activities, and
which was recognized with 9 global awards. The oneTRANSPORT data
marketplace operates on the Chordant™ platform, a standardized
cloud-based system built for real-time data, supported by a
commercial framework that makes open data sharing simple for any
organization. The marketplace provides numerous service features
including:
- “Publish once, distribute to many” architecture, enabling the
efficient distribution of real-time data by data owners to any
other organization without placing additional strain on existing IT
systems;
- Choice of Open Data licenses, allowing organizations to control
what data they license and on what terms;
- Cloud storage and archiving of real-time data, creating
historical records for analysis and machine learning;
- Options for monetizing valuable data; and
- APIs based on the international global IoT standards,
preventing proprietary-system lock-in.
“Previously isolated and nearly inaccessible data about
real-time operations of towns and cities has now been made easily
accessible to us through the oneTRANSPORT data marketplace,” said
Colin Balfour, Managing Director at Traak Systems. “This free flow
of transport data has helped accelerate our Smart City analytics
business and unlocks opportunities for us to develop new Smart City
Intelligent Transport solutions.”
“The U.K. really needs this kind of infrastructure for data,
that enables smaller cities and entire regions to benefit from
Smart City concepts and solutions,” said Tim Gammons, Director of
Smarter Mobility and ITS at Arup. “We’ve been working with the
oneTRANSPORT project for a number of years and are excited to
support the growth of this data sharing ecosystem across the
U.K.”
At Mobile World Congress 2018 in Barcelona, InterDigital will
demonstrate how the oneTRANSPORT data marketplace enables the
monetization of real-time Smart City and Intelligent Mobility data
streams. The oneTRANSPORT data marketplace enables data owners to
distribute real-time data to multiple organizations either for free
through an Open Data license, or for a fee that is set by the data
owner. The oneTRANSPORT marketplace tracks and charges
organizations that access the data, passing revenue back to the
data owner.
Attendees of Mobile World Congress can see the oneTRANSPORT data
marketplace in operation at InterDigital’s pavilion in Hall 7,
Stand 7C61. For more information, please visit oneTRANSPORT.io.
