About The Customer
TransWiseway Information Technology Co. Ltd. is a company based in Beijing, China that develops transportation information service systems and applications for traffic monitoring projects. Its customers include municipal transportation administrative agencies and transportation companies. TransWiseway’s traffic management and control platform is integrated into various government-owned and enterprise-wide platforms. The company is a leader in the transportation information service industry and has a significant role in traffic monitoring projects. Its services are crucial for administrative agencies and transportation companies that rely on accurate and timely traffic information for their operations.
The Challenge
In 2011, the government of China mandated that all trucks be connected to the TransWiseway Internet of Vehicles (IoV) platform. As a result, Beijing-based TransWiseway Information Technology Co. Ltd. needed to grow its platform to support and serve 10 million simultaneously connected vehicles while managing the massive amounts of data generated by the solution. The company was faced with the challenge of expanding its platform to accommodate the growing number of connected vehicles and the data they generate. This required a robust and scalable solution that could handle the influx of data and provide real-time analysis for improved safety and decision making.
The Solution
TransWiseway utilized IBM's MobileFirst Platform and MessageSight to enhance its Internet of Vehicles (IoV) platform. This allowed the company to collect and analyze data from millions of connected vehicles in real time, improving safety and decision making. Customers can now access traffic, weather, route, vehicle maintenance and driver safety data through a web interface, smart devices or terminals inside the trucks. Cloud-based access facilitates third-party app development, helping companies improve efficiency and reduce costs. The company now has the largest IoV platform in China, capable of supporting and serving 10 million simultaneously connected vehicles.
Operational Impact
  • TransWiseway’s IoV platform has become the largest IoV platform in China.
  • The company has expanded its customer base, growing from 9 to 34 provinces, covering the entire nation with the exception of Tibet.
  • Offerings developed on the platform by ISVs and other third party partners have created new revenue streams for the company through new applications deployed to trucking companies and drivers.
  • The platform has also enhanced TransWiseway’s value to customers and to the public, with insights that alert drivers of poor road conditions, dangerous weather or potential driving violations.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Anticipated growth from 300,000 connected vehicles to more than 10 million by the end of 2019.
  • Expanded customer base from 9 to 34 provinces.
