A significant improvement

In the Province of Noord-Holland, a groundbreaking Smart Mobility implementation program is underway, spanning from 2018 to 2020.

 

This initiative addresses local mobility, urbanisation, energy, economic transitions, and liveability challenges. Focusing on shifting towards intelligent, clean, and safe mobility solutions that put users first, the program explores the potential of new technologies and innovations to make a significant impact.

Four pillars of the Smart Mobility program

The foundation of the program is built on four key pillars:

  1. Data and information: Harnessing the power of data to improve mobility solutions.
  2. Vehicle technology: Exploring advanced vehicle technologies for better performance.
  3. Physical and digital infrastructure: Strengthening the tangible and digital frameworks supporting mobility.
  4. Mobility as a Service (MaaS): Innovating how mobility services are delivered and accessed.

For each pillar, detailed projects are in place, encompassing studies, tests, and pilot trials in real-world settings.

Testbed for various modes of transport

The province has established a testbed around the Schiphol area, focusing on various modes of transport, including bicycles, cars, freight, buses, and shipping. This initiative resulted in the deployment of several Traffic Light Control Systems (TLCs) within the test area.

Facilitating access to ITS data

The need to share ITS data from TLCs with external parties is key to several ITS test projects, including CONCORDA. To this end, the IF2 interface, built on the TLEX platform, was selected. Monotch has played a crucial role in unlocking data from roadside equipment and traffic controllers, offering ETSI-compliant data communication to service providers via the IF2 interface.

The plug-and-play nature of TLEX has been a game-changer, ensuring that connected service providers can access the necessary data efficiently, meeting tight deadlines with minimal latency and enhanced security.
