Intelligent Transportation utilizes the latest wireless communication, sensor and intelligent device technology to improve road safety, optimize transportation efficiency, reduce pollution, and to provide data in support of national security issues.

Advances in wireless technology, and the increasing use of intelligent in-vehicle and road side sensors, mean that a huge amount of real-time information is now available. This information can now be used for much more than simply identify speeding vehicles or traffic congestion for example. Patterns of vehicle behaviour can be analyzed and identified, and predictive analytics used to improve traffic congestion. In-vehicle telematics can now exploited, with real-time vehicle to vehicle communication on local weather conditions, braking distances and use of cruise controls for example.

SQLstream's stream computing platform provides the ideal platform for real-time Intelligent Transportation systems. SQLstream enables you to:

• Process the vast amount of information from many different inputs in real-time.

• Combine real-time sensor data, with GPS and other geographical information, and combine real-time data with existing transportation databases.

• Support real-time monitoring and predictive analytics, detecting problems, trends and patterns of behaviour as they happen.

• Integrate easily with existing transportation applications.

• Implement new data sources, sensor technology and mobile technology simply and easily.
