Monotch introduced Connected Transport, a production-ready service that enables real-time data exchange between road authorities, roadside infrastructure, traffic control systems, mobility services and logistics service providers. The international introduction took place at Intertraffic 2026, where Monotch demonstrated how connected transport is now available as an operational, off-the-shelf service.
Connected Transport is powered by TLEX, the Monotch platform, and provides a shared, open services layer for connected mobility. By leveraging standardised interfaces, vehicles, fleet management systems (FMS), and public authorities can connect using their existing on-board solutions, eliminating the need for complex, project-specific deployments.
Operational deployment, expanding across Europe
The Connected Transport service is already operational across major logistics corridors in the Netherlands, a key gateway for European freight. Within this region, vehicles equipped with our partner’s fleet management solutions and onboard applications are integrated into their customers’ daily transport operations.
Monotch is now actively expanding this service across Europe, onboarding additional FMS providers and national access points (NAPs), and preparing new international corridors to support seamless cross-border transport.
Delivering measurable impact for freight transport
Connected Transport creates a direct operational link between truck GPS data — via fleet management providers — and roadside infrastructure systems operated by road authorities. This establishes a coordinated digital network between vehicles, fleet systems and traffic control infrastructure.
A key capability is the active optimisation of freight movements in urban corridors. On designated routes, connected trucks can submit priority requests at traffic light intersections. By reducing unnecessary stops and enabling more constant speeds, the service helps lower fuel consumption, reduce emissions and improve traffic flow.
At the same time, drivers receive real-time safety alerts based on their precise position. These alerts include approaching emergency vehicles, active roadworks, temporary closures and other hazardous situations along their route.
Together, these capabilities support safer operations, improved efficiency and more sustainable logistics across European transport networks.
Connected Transport service is live today
“Connected Transport establishes a direct digital connection between fleet systems and roadside infrastructure,” says Martijn Koch, responsible for Connected Transport at Monotch. “By integrating truck GPS data, traffic control systems and public authority platforms, we create a coordinated network that improves safety, reduces emissions and optimises freight movements in urban corridors. This is not a concept or a trial — it is a service that is live today and ready to scale internationally.”
Designed for interoperability and growth
Connected Transport is designed as an open and extensible services layer. New regions, applications and partners can be added without disrupting existing operations, enabling long-term scalability and interoperability across borders.
