Rolta Awarded USTDA Contract for Chinese Smart City Project

Rolta has announced that it has been awarded the prestigious 'Smart City' project for Nanjing, China, in preparation for hosting the 2014 Youth Olympics. Rolta has engaged ARES Security Corporation of Burlingame, CA, USA, to leverage its systems engineering expertise to assist in developing an integrated geospatial transportation solution for the city.

The solution will collect Nanjing's transportation data from hundreds of sensors and provide dashboards to assist in traffic management and monitoring environmental parameters in real-time to better handle the dramatic increase in demands on the city's infrastructure. With this solution, which incorporates Rolta iPerspective, a platform for integration of disparate sources of data, Rolta OneView for business intelligence, and Rolta Geospatial Fusion to integrate spatial attributes, municipal managers will have a robust decision-support capability to better address near and long-term traffic planning needs. 

The project was funded through a United States Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) grant that targets the creation of sustainable infrastructure and economic growth through the export of US goods and services.  Rolta's solution will be used to support the intelligent transportation requirements for the 2014 Youth Olympics.

The Smart City project is the first collaboration under a newly formed ARES Security-Rolta strategic alliance. This alliance takes advantage of the partners' diverse but complementary strengths to develop and offer security management solutions. Both partners have a rich repository of software built around their respective intellectual property and deep expertise in the security domain that enables them to deliver world-class solutions.
