New platform combines Cubic Transportation
Systems’ transportation expertise with Microsoft Azure cloud-based
enterprise solutions
Cubic Transportation Systems (CTS), a business unit of Cubic
Corporation (NYSE: CUB), today announced that it will offer the
first U.S. demonstration of NextTraffic™, its new traffic
management and optimization solution using Microsoft’s Azure™ cloud
platform, to media attending ITS America 2016. The demonstration
will take place on Monday, June 13, 3 p.m. at Cubic Booth #629.
At ITS Europe earlier this month, CTS launched NextTraffic,
which combines CTS’s expertise in transportation payment and
information technologies with Microsoft’s leadership in enterprise
solutions.
NextTraffic has the potential to improve traffic patterns,
reduce congestion, contribute to economic growth and revolutionize
city planning, all while benefiting the quality of transportation
around the city.
NextTraffic supports system-wide data collection, processing and
sharing of information to travelers and cities with a modern,
financially flexible solution that can work with the customer’s
existing infrastructure and solutions through the Microsoft Azure
cloud platform. The scalable cloud-based platform presents the
collection, processing, monitoring, controlling and management of
all traffic elements on multiple computer networks, in one place,
for control of surface transportation and better utilization of
roads and networks.
CTS’s share of the smart city market and focus on transportation
and traffic management, along with the aid of the Microsoft cloud
platform, will give operators the advantage of CTS’s massive data
sources and enable enhanced data processing and deep analytics
through its connection to Azure.
Spokespeople from both Cubic and Microsoft will be available
onsite to answer questions during and after the press
demonstration.
“Working with Microsoft to develop a cloud-based installation of
NextTraffic gives us the capability to offer advanced traffic
management to any city, town or municipality,” said Chris Bax,
Cubic vice president, ITS global strategy. “The power of the cloud
allows us to scale the solution to fit the needs of the customer.
This leap in service delivery will help improve traffic management
across the U.S. by seamlessly linking adjacent centers to offer
intra-urban traffic management coordination.”
“We are now seeing a big effort to effectively and efficiently
manage traffic across the urban landscape,” said Bill Mitchel,
senior director of worldwide public sector at Microsoft. “The Cubic
NextTraffic solution, hosted on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform,
delivers technological capability and advancements in a
security-enhanced cloud environment. This combination will help
urban traffic managers invest in long-term solutions for years to
come.”
