Kapsch TrafficCom
At Kapsch TrafficCom we work together with Spanish public administrations supplying technology to make progress in safe, connected and sustainable mobility. As part of this DGT 3.0 project, Kapsch offers its knowledge and experience in urban and interurban mobility management and its interoperability, with a presence in many major Spanish cities.
The new mobility platform of the DGT signifies a great advance which makes it possible to go from a traditional road system to a model in which vehicles become an essential part of the mobility ecosystem, which are capable of sending out and receiving data that are completely anonymized in order to reduce the number of accidents and traffic jams as much as possible, helping to improve Road Safety and sustainable movement.
Participation in the project:
Kapsch TrafficCom will offer its experience spanning over 30 years in technology, its services for Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and its innovative traffic solutions in Traffic Management Centres, of both an urban nature in town councils, and interurban for the DGT in Spain. In the project, Kapsch will combine its experience in traffic management for the development of any use cases that are defined and it will offer knowledge and support in any necessary integrations with the platform.
In recent years, Kapsch has set numerous projects in motion to promote more efficient mobility in several Spanish cities and infrastructures. Places such as Huelva, Santiago de Compostela, Ceuta, Ibiza, Sevilla and Fuengirola are some of the most recent examples. With the technology and support of Kapsch, these cities now have systems that improve traffic control, are able to manage public transport in a more efficient and sustainable way, and have platforms to manage and process mobility data from various sources that make it possible to carry out descriptive and predictive analyses on urban mobility and take measures while always keeping citizens in mind.
In terms of infrastructure, Kapsch TrafficCom has a great deal of experience in projects like the one it is carrying out in the Biscay corridor, where one of the first intelligent motorways in Spain will be found. In this section of the A-8 spanning 57 kilometres, Kapsch will implement its autonomous and connected mobility technology. Vehicles that pass through this cooperative corridor in 2024 and have devices for receiving data are expected to be able to receive accurate and real-time information on a wide range of incidents related to: weather, accidents, roadworks, traffic jams, obstacles on the road and speed limits, as well as other use cases defined.
