SAP has revealed plans to collaborate with the Chinese government by developing an intelligent transportation system that will help manage the country’s traffic in fast-growing urban areas over the coming decades.
The Chinese High-Way Group and SAP will research integrated solutions for transportation communications and develop intelligent traffic management systems, leveraging SAP solutions for big data powered by the HANA, cloud computing and mobile computing.
Member of the Executive Board of SAP AG, Gerd Oswald, struck the agreement with China’s Premier, Li Keqiang, during his visit to Germany.
“The intelligent management of public transportation is critical for sustainable economic growth and the long-term socioeconomic development in China,” said Oswald.
“We are very delighted about our strategic collaboration plans with the Chinese government on a broad scale to develop intelligent transportation systems to help make the world run better and improve people’s lives.”
According to SAP, China’s existing IT environment lacks the ability for predictive and advanced data analysis and therefore cannot proactively manage different traffic and transportation scenarios that would provide better services to China’s citizens and help better urban planning.
SAP plans to closely collaborate with the China Ministry of Transport (MoT) and may draw on its comprehensive domain expertise for traffic, logistics and transportation.
