Successful Completion of InnovateUK Integrated Transport Project: 300+ Datasets, 11 Partners, and 9 Global Awards
06 Noviembre 2017 - 2:30AM
A consortium of leading European industry, academic and transport
authority partners, today announced the successful completion of a
two-year integrated transport project, funded in part by the UK’s
innovation agency, Innovate UK. After two years, the project,
oneTRANSPORT, was able to bring together more than 300 different
datasets, coordinate eleven public and private partners’
activities, and recognized with 9 global awards.
In 2013, InterDigital Europe conceived the oneTRANSPORT concept.
Buckinghamshire County Council, ARUP, Worldsensing and Traak
Systems joined InterDigital Europe to deliver an initial
feasibility study in January 2014, followed by Oxfordshire County
Council, Northamptonshire County Council, Imperial College London,
Highways England, Hertfordshire County Council, and Clearview
Traffic Group in 2015, expanding the consortium to 11 partners to
deliver and operate a full in-field trial.
The oneTRANSPORT project utilized the Chordant™ platform, built
on the global oneM2M™standard, to enable local authorities to
consolidate and share real-time data feeds within a single
environment, allow independent data analytics and application
developers to offer value-added data services and end-user
applications, and allow third party transportation sensor owners to
contribute their data streams and expertise to the marketplace.
The goal was to tackle local transport issues, deliver a
superior travel experience and fuel the exploration of new revenues
for local authorities, with in-journey travel optimization and
value-added services that travelers desire. In 2016, the consortium
conducted the first use cases that delivered on these goals, and as
a result delivered tangible benefits to its participants. Three
successful case studies include:
- Silverstone Formula 1 Race Weekend: The
project integrated and displayed real-time data from multiple data
owners including Highways England, three local authorities, and
private sector traffic and analytics companies. This gave
organizers an understanding of the approach and departure of 16,000
cars over the four-day event, and allowed them to optimally route
traffic in and out of the seven on-site car parks. Armed with
visibility of traffic flow rates and real-time car park
occupancies, Silverstone was able to minimize queues and congestion
over the full Formula 1 race weekend.
- Watford Football Club Match Day: oneTRANSPORT
enabled real-time data from multiple road and parking systems
around Watford town centre to be combined and displayed, providing
new real-time insights into traffic behavior and the impact of
visitors around Watford on football match days, which take place
every two weeks and attract over 20,000 visitors. These new
insights enabled interventions in signal timings and dynamic
information displays that altered traffic and parking, which
significantly reduced queues and congestion on key town centre
roads and improved car park exit rates post-match.
- Oxford Park and Ride: This project enabled the
sharing of data between Oxford Council, a public bus operator, two
analytics providers and two app developers, to help manage traffic
and congestion in Oxford City Centre. By collaboratively sharing
real-time data on road congestion, real-time bus locations and
real-time parking availability, private sector organizations were
able to develop new app-based information services for travelers
that combine information about anticipated car journey times,
predicted bus journey times and predicted parking availability for
various travel options into the town centre versus the park and
ride service. Such collaborative efforts have enabled the provision
of reliable information to promote the benefits of the park and
ride service, reducing unnecessary circulation of traffic and
resulting pollution and traveler frustration in the city
centre.
“InnovateUK is committed to stimulating innovation in
infrastructure systems crucial to the economy, environment and
society. The oneTRANSPORT project is a great example,” said
Stephen Hart, Senior innovation lead, Connected Transport at
InnovateUK. “The successful two-year project has proven, in
real-life situations across private and public sectors, that it can
enable data to be shared in such a way that unlocks innovation,
enables new intelligent mobility services for the UK and ultimately
benefits society through growth potential.”
The solution created as part of the oneTRANSPORT project
operates as neutral, national data infrastructure and supports a
federated approach to other data platforms. It enables the sharing
of data between organizations of all types and is neutral in its
handling of the data. The project together with the Chordant
platform, upon which the project is based, have won nine global
awards including 2016 Best Solution for Transportation &
Logistics from IoT Solutions World Congress and a 2016 Connected
Transportation Excellence Award from IoT Evolution Magazine. “The
oneTRANSPORT project enabled an important step-change in how data
is shared and used by travelers and transport operators,” said Alan
Carlton, Vice President, InterDigital Europe. “We’re thrilled to
have been at the genesis of a project that unlocks a new generation
of Smart City benefits across the UK and look forward to enhancing
and expanding on the platform and solutions developed for
oneTRANSPORT.”
