IBS ties with UK-based TRL

Technopark-based IBS entered into an agreement with Transport Research Laboratory, UK, to
work out travel and transportation safety solutions to be offered to worldwide customers, including governments.

CEO and chairman of IBS V K Mathews said the tie-up would help work out effective solutions for vital problems faced by surface transportation from road management to pollution control.

A Research and Consultancy firm of over six decades of experience, TRL would join IBS to explore global business opportunities by developing innovative but easy-to-use solutions for effective road management.

IBS,which specializes in providing IT solutions to the aviation industry, had in the last few years made strides in surface transportation, Mr. Mathews said.

The road management problems were bound to go up worldwide due to a host of reasons like globalization of trade, increase in car ownership, rise in accidents and pressure to reduce carbon emission.This scenario would make it compelling for all countries to have effective methods of managing the situation with the aid of information and communication technologies.
