Auckland Transport Adopts HPE GreenLake for Advanced Analytics to Promote Public Safety

AI-enhanced video feed manages traffic flow, deters violations and crime in real time for Auckland Transport on HPE GreenLake platform

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) today announced that Auckland Transport has selected HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform to deliver an AI-enhanced video feed to optimize transport routes, promote public transportation, and support decision-making for law enforcement.

Auckland Transport is responsible for the region’s transport services including roads, footpaths, public transport, and parking. Its day-to-day activities keep Auckland’s transport systems moving and works to address traffic congestion, encourage more people to use public transportation, and keep citizens safe on roads and in public spaces.

Previously, Auckland Transport used 2500 cameras to monitor the city for safety issues creating an ever-increasing amount of data. Auckland Transport was using aging technology, and the ongoing costs of maintenance and outsourced management of the platform were significant. The expansive system was complex, difficult to upgrade, and nearing its end of life.

Auckland Transport needed a cost-effective solution that would enhance productivity and automation as well as encourage more people to use public transport which had been significantly disrupted with the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We use the data to convert people to public transport. We know how long it takes to get from point A to point B by car and we let people know that they can get there twice as fast on the bus,” said Roger Jones, Executive General Manager, Business Technology for Auckland Transport.

Auckland Transport transitioned its video management system (VMS) to the Qumulo File Data Platform on a HPE Apollo 4200 Gen10 server running on the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform, resulting in a 41% rack space reduction – from 68 rack units spread across three racks, to 40 rack units in two racks, HPE GreenLake Management Services monitor and operate its VMS.

With a VMS two-thirds of the size of the original footprint, Auckland Transport has achieved a 37% decrease in energy consumption and reduced power and cooling costs, without compromising the system’s capacity to handle unstructured data in the exabyte realm.

The modern, unified solution allows Auckland Transport to avoid upfront IT costs and enables customers to pay only for what is used, while a single, intuitive dashboard reports in real time transport flow, consumption and congestion rate, and compute and storage trends. This data is vital for forecasting and planning to enable people to move seamlessly and safely around Auckland city.

In addition, the new solution allows Auckland Transport to increase its camera usage, making parking officers’ jobs more effective and efficient.

“We’re excited to work with Auckland Transport and deliver a unified, cost-effective solution that uses AI to keep people safe and support their mobility,” said Colin Henderson, Managing Director, Hewlett Packard Enterprise NZ.

“This is a perfect example of the combined power of HPE Solutions with Qumulo. Our carefully selected configurations are optimized for price, performance, and capacity requirements to deliver unstructured file data at massive scale and unmatched performance,” said Ben Gitenstein, Vice President of Product at Qumulo.
