Mobile networks and data liberalization hold key to successful ITS deployments - HERE and SBD whitepaper
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Berlin, Germany - In the effort to reduce traffic congestion and improve safety
with intelligent transportation systems (ITS), government and the private sector
should look to existing mobile network infrastructure and be prepared to embrace
data liberalization, according to automotive research firm SBD and HERE.
In their joint whitepaper, SBD and HERE argue that ITS managers can avoid the
pitfalls that have plagued many ITS projects during the last decade by taking
advantage of recent technological advances.
"Spending on ITS has so far tended to end up in costly hardware-heavy projects,
the vast majority of which have not been commercially sustainable," said the co-
authors of the study Andrew Hart of SBD and Bernd Fastenrath of HERE.
"Fortunately, the growth of powerful mobile networks, the proliferation of
sensors and the increasing maturity of connected data analytics are paving the
way for software-richer ITS designs. For ITS managers, it means effective
solutions are attainable which are affordable, scalable and interoperable."
The authors argue that any design lacks utility, however, if ITS participants
fail to enter into a new spirit of collaboration, especially around data. A city
in motion generates a tremendous volume of data yet, for the most part, that
data is untapped and its potential value is not fully captured. To do so means
connecting vehicles, individuals, city and road infrastructure, and traffic
authorities to enable a meaningful volume of quality data to be pooled and
analyzed - no single car manufacturer or road transit authority can create a
data ecosystem alone.
According to SBD and HERE, some USD 89 billion has been spent in the last decade
on large-scale ITS schemes which have either failed to meet their stated
objectives or suffered lengthy delays. Additionally, despite a large volume of
government-funded research projects and trials, a disproportionately small
number have translated into commercial deployments. In many cases, the critical
enabling technologies have lacked maturity, have been too costly, or have not
been sufficiently user-friendly.
