On October 22 and November 18, Monotch hosted high-energy webinars together with experts from Microsoft, STV, and WSP exploring one of the most pressing challenges in modern transportation: how to deliver real-time, secure, and scalable data exchange across infrastructure, vehicles, and systems.
For agencies and mobility operators around the world, the message was clear: connected mobility is no longer a future ambition. It’s happening now, and it’s shaping how cities and regions manage safety, traffic efficiency, and multimodal movement.
The need for trusted and actionable mobility data
Every day, agencies, operators, and technology partners collect enormous volumes of mobility data. But most of this data lives in silos; within traffic management systems, roadside equipment, individual applications, or private-sector platforms.
During the webinar, speakers highlighted how this fragmentation limits innovation and real-time response, especially when multiple organisations need to coordinate quickly.
Whether it’s emergency vehicle priority, incident response, dynamic routing, or real-time driver alerts, the ability to share trusted data instantly and securely is essential. Without it, mobility remains disconnected — forcing slow manual processes, duplicated infrastructure, and operational blind spots.
Introducing TLEX Interchange
The session demonstrated how TLEX Interchange, now deployable directly via the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, solves this challenge.
TLEX Interchange is a governed, secure, bi-directional data exchange engine designed specifically for mobility use cases. It enables road authorities and partners to connect existing systems, infrastructure, and external services without tearing down or rebuilding what they already have.
Rather than forcing a single standard or vendor, TLEX Interchange provides a neutral, trusted, real-time exchange environment where every message is authenticated, traceable, and policy-controlled by the data owner.
Built for operational reality, not laboratory conditions
A key theme throughout the discussion was the difference between innovation pilots and operational deployments. Many cities successfully test new technology, but struggle to scale it due to proprietary systems, expensive integrations, and complex governance.
TLEX Interchange is built to break that pattern. It enables extremely fast deployment, works with existing hardware and software, and allows agencies to maintain full ownership and control of their data – including who can send, receive, or act on it.
As speakers emphasised, this approach shifts mobility development away from isolated experiments and toward a functional ecosystem where real-world value can be achieved at scale.
Real-world use cases
Across the world, TLEX Interchange is already powering real deployments where connected mobility is no longer experimental but operational. During the webinar, we demonstrated several concrete examples to help the audience understand how these implementations work in practice — from Emergency Vehicle Priority at intelligent intersections, to secure Emergency Vehicle Alerts, Work Zone and School Zone data distribution, to trusted data exchange with vehicle OEMs and navigation providers. These examples reflect only a fraction of what is already live today, proving that governed, real-time data exchange is already delivering measurable value in the field.
Why the Azure Marketplace matters
With deployment directly from the Azure Marketplace, agencies can now set up a cloud-based instance of TLEX Interchange in a few clicks, leveraging existing procurement frameworks, compliance, and cloud security. This dramatically accelerates adoption and simplifies scaling, lowering barriers that frequently slow mobility innovation. Through Azure, road authorities can also use existing cloud credits and integrate TLEX Interchange with their existing cloud architecture, identity, and security models.
A platform for collaboration and growth
TLEX Interchange positions mobility data as an operational asset rather than a locked-down resource.
Securely linking infrastructure, vehicles, and digital services allows:
- Cities and regions to work together on shared outcomes
- Integrators and vendors to innovate without rebuilding interfaces
- Navigation providers and OEMs to consume trusted, real-time information
- Agencies to govern the ecosystem through clear policies and rules
This creates an environment where every party benefits — and where innovation becomes repeatable, scalable, and financially viable.

Looking ahead: from concept to deployment
The momentum around connected mobility is real and accelerating. Road authorities are shifting from pilot-driven thinking to operational, cross-regional deployments powered by governed data exchange.
With TLEX Interchange, Monotch is enabling that shift, supporting cities, states, and national programs as they build safer, more intelligent, and more efficient mobility networks. For agencies, integrators, and partners ready to take the next step, the future of mobility is already within reach.
