At IBM Research, it is important to be able to test bed solutions in real-world settings, outside the walls of a traditional laboratory, and the collaboratory facility in Singapore allows us to do that," said Dr Jayant Kalagnanam, Research Director, Research Collaboratory, IBM Singapore. "Singapore hosts a rich ecosystem of leading research institutes and universities. Our work with the LTA around traffic analytics presents a great launch pad and we plan to transfer this research to build advanced systems and solutions that will help create smarter urban systems. This in turn will provide a reference to cities around the world on managing and optimising their scarce resources".
