Modular by architecture, the Chordant smart city platform is “horizontal” in nature, which makes it industry-agnostic and offers the flexibility to incrementally build services and use cases. “The Chordant platform has inbuilt codes for common services, which eliminate the need for users to develop software from scratch,” says Rasinkangas. The Chordant platform integrates data of any format from several types of sources—air quality sensors, traffic sensors, and even full systems—through an intelligent adapter concept, which then delivers data to any service or application. Further, the exponential increase in data necessitates systems to be scalable at multiple levels, which the microservices architecture of the Chordant platform supports on a service-by-service basis. The platform even enables organizations to share and monetize their data through Chordant’s service, the oneTRANSPORTTM data marketplace.

Chordant sees tremendous scope for improvement in the transportation area, where a plethora of data silos exist and hinder efficient utilization of available data. Sprucing up services in cities such as ambulances and school buses through strategies like mobility-as-a-service is an area of focus for the company. “Both public and private sector entities that consume data from multiple sources to provide different kinds of services are looking to leverage the oneTRANSPORT data marketplace,” concludes Rasinkangas.
