Thought leaders from Cubic Transportation
Systems and Microsoft to participate on panel discussion addressing
innovations in traffic and transportation management
Cubic Transportation Systems (CTS), a business unit of Cubic
Corporation (NYSE: CUB), today announced the launch of its new
Surface Transport Management solution at the ITS World Congress to
be held in Melbourne, Australia, from October 10-14. Developed in
collaboration with Microsoft Corp., using the Microsoft Azure cloud
platform, the Surface Transport Management solution sits at the
core of the smart city where its multi-modal integration
capabilities allow transport management centers to control and
direct travel networks throughout the city, and deliver safer, more
secure and more reliable journeys for travelers.
The solution is the first of its kind, providing a holistic view
across all transportation modes. Both Cubic and Microsoft have long
believed that the increasing prominence of the smart cities
movement means that collaborative partnering among industry
leaders, academia and transportation operators solutions is
essential to solutions that recognize the continuing evolution of
the mobility sphere. As an example, this has meant designing a
solution that is ready for the widespread deployment of fully
autonomous vehicles for both passenger and freight movement.
The Smart Cities Readiness Guide produced by the Smart Cities
Council in the U.S. recently stated that a “helicopter view” of
holistic infrastructure-wide solutions is indicative of the move of
cities toward integrated systems. Speaking of Cubic’s Surface
Transport Management launch, Jesse Berst, chairman, Smart Cities
Council, said, "Interoperability is essential to all aspects of
the smart city, and nowhere more so than in transportation. It
reduces complexity and costs while allowing cities to still get
value from their legacy systems. Kudos to Cubic for tackling this
tough challenge."
“We are delighted to be unveiling the Surface Transport
Management solution in Melbourne, Australia, which is regarded as
the world’s most livable city. And for livability, this includes
having an efficient transport infrastructure, and Cubic’s solution
delivers that,” said Chris Bax, CTS vice president, ITS global
strategy. “Our collaboration utilizes the massive power of
Microsoft technology to deliver a highly flexible solution that
will meet the demands of tomorrow’s connected cities. Every city
faces a unique set of challenges and as our preferred platform,
Azure’s cloud-based flexibility means that each solution can be
delivered in the most cost-effective way.”
“Cubic’s innovative approach delivers a transportation platform
taking advantage of the Microsoft Azure cloud platform, allowing
for a more flexible and scalable solution meeting today’s
congestion management needs with the capability to evolve, meeting
future system requirements,” said Bill Mitchel, senior director of
Worldwide Public Sector, Microsoft.
ITS World Congress will be held at the Melbourne Convention and
Exhibition Centre, in Melbourne, Australia. In addition to
launching Surface Transport Management at Stand #1706, Cubic will
