InterDigital to Offer Transformative Transportation Solution Hosted on Microsoft Azure
June 26 2017 - 4:00AM
InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC), a mobile technology research and
development company, today announced that the company will offer a
cloud-based, transformative, intelligent transportation solution
hosted on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform. The intelligent
transportation solution is powered by InterDigital’s horizontal
standards-based IoT platform and integration framework.
InterDigital’s intelligent transportation solution hosted on
Azure will enable governments and enterprises globally to
consolidate varied and disparate data feeds, while also enabling a
marketplace for third parties to both access and contribute their
data. This encompasses both raw data and high-value analytics
derived from it. Data sources include traffic sensors capturing
speeds and travel times, roadwork activites, parking occupancy,
congestion, bus and rail data, and others. This information is
useful to the solution providers serving smart city citizens,
governments in their infrastructure planning, and enterprises
offering insurance and supply chain services.
The shared nature and interoperability benefits of an open
horizontal platform and data materialize in example transport
applications that can include multi-modal travel, predictive travel
analytics, event management, traffic congestion mitigation, and
incident management. As an example, the solution hosted on Azure is
being used for the oneTRANSPORT initiative, a public-private effort
to pilot a transport data marketplace and a range of
transport-related IoT applications in the UK.
“IoT operates in a highly-fragmented environment preventing the
unification of varied, disparate and legacy data sources.
Therefore, emerging solutions require future-proofing and
guaranteed interoperability,” said Jim Nolan, EVP, IoT Solutions,
InterDigital. “We’re thrilled to offer our intelligent
transportation solution on Microsoft Azure, which facilitates true
deployment flexibility and global scalability.”
Michael Donlan, Vice President, U.S. State and Local Government,
Microsoft Corp. said, “We’re pleased to see InterDigital benefit
from the scale and flexibility of Microsoft Azure that supports
developing solutions that help government and enterprise better
manage and mitigate urban traffic congestion challenges.”
InterDigital’s intelligent transportation solution is just one
example of multiple industry solutions that can be enabled through
InterDigital’s standards-based IoT platform and integration
framework hosted on Azure.
