Vodafone said in a statement that the platform is “will ultimately connect vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians and infrastructure in a seamless digital transport ecosystem”. It was developed by Vodafone, Nokia and Chordant, with support from the UK Government Centre for Connected and Automated Vehicles (CCAV) and the Midlands Future Mobility (MFM) consortium. The platform is providing digitally connected road users in the West Midlands with live, highly localised and targeted updates from road operators on lane closures, speed restrictions and traffic incidents.
