IBM Intelligent Transportation addresses the need for visibility into traffic performance, configuration, and incidents across a diverse set of traffic systems. By providing a comprehensive and scalable platform for transportation management solutions, IBM Intelligent Transportation helps to analyze traffic performance across a wide variety of transportation network inputs and can help optimize throughput, efficiency, response time, and user experience across the entire transportation network. IBM Intelligent Transportation offers a comprehensive solution for traffic management by capturing data from disparate sources to achieve citywide visibility into transportation conditions. The solution enables a 360-degree view of the entire transportation infrastructure by integrating existing technologies into a single information model for advanced analysis and sharpened visibility of traffic incidents.
IBM Intelligent Transportation offers intelligence and insight, greater connectivity and transparency, and improved customer service by providing centralized management of traffic operations and event information that is collected across geographic locations. By integrating and aggregating traffic operations and event information from a variety of data source devices, IBM Intelligent Transportation can help provide valuable visible information to increase the efficiency of numerous traffic pain points. By delivering traffic system integration, the IBM solution provides a comprehensive picture of what’s coming down the road at any given time.
IBM Intelligent Transportation provides the following capabilities:
- Aggregates and normalizes traffic data from across city agencies to produce a consistent near real-time traffic data flow
- Provides mechanisms for understanding and developing a better view of the demand across an entire transportation network
- Provides a visual interface of near real-time operations based on near real-time data
- Helps provide deeper understanding into the use of transportation assets and infrastructure
- Can help reduce the cost of transportation and roadway event monitoring
- Provides traffic analysis capability and access to historical and near real-time information about traffic performance, conditions, and incidents
- Helps improve operational efficiency
- Helps increase the extended transportation network capacity using current infrastructure and assets
- Helps save money and time by knowing the location, status, and availability of transportation assets
- Transforms multi-source traffic data into a standard traffic information model from which scalable applications can be created
- Provides a near real-time visual interface to aggregate traffic information
- Can help reduce congestion and accidents by providing the insight to balance traffic across routes
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Increased situational awareness across an entire transportation network | Alleviate traffic congestion and enhance travel experience through traffic updates to the public as well as planning alternate routes Control traffic flow and better manage fluctuating situations |
| High performance access to traffic event data, including both near-real-time and historical visibility of average speed, volume, and incident information | Operators gain the ability to understand and correlate information in a single view so they can assess the impact of accidents and road closures on traffic conditions Increase the efficiency of the transportation network |
| Centralized management of traffic operations and traffic event information collected across geographic locations | Provides real-time citywide traffic visibility and reduces the cost of transportation and roadway event monitoring. |
| A standardized information model and one single scalable platform that conforms to standards | Reduces costs by providing seamless integration with legacy systems. Traffic and transportation applications can be created with ease and scalability on top of the platform |
| Near real-time monitoring of traffic incidents | Increase safety and security of travelers |
IBM Intelligent Transportation requires an IBM Intelligent Operations Center. IBM Intelligent Operations Center must meet minimum hardware requirements. IBM Intelligent Transportation installs into the IBM Intelligent Operations Center.

Note that Internet Explorer 9.0 and Mozilla Firefox 4.0 are not supported
Operating System:
- RedHat Enterprise Linux Server 5.5 or RedHat Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform 5.5, 64-bit version only.
Hardware Requirements:
Server requirements
Each server must have an x86 64-bit processor including one of the following:
- AMD 64-bit processors
- Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T) processors
Each IBM Intelligent Operations Center recommends the processors, memory, and hard disk space shown below.
| Server | Number of processors | Memory | Hard disk |
|---|---|---|---|
| access server | 4 | 16 GB | 80 GB |
| analytic server | 8 | 16 GB | 80 GB |
| application and integration server | 8 | 16 GB | 80 GB |
