Indra completes the monitoring and security project of the Metrobús network in Mexico City

Los 568 buses of the six Metrobús lines in the country's capital already have the management system, control and security of the Spanish technological multinational to monitor in real time any incident that may occur both inside and outside the 160 stations that make up this transport network.

The Mexico City Metrobús network project entrusted to Indra, which began in the year 2013, to deploy the Operation Assistance System (SAE) and facilitate management, control and security of 568 buses that circulate on their six lines along the Bus Rapid Transit lanes (BRT) of the city, has been completed successfully and with significant improvements in efficiency, security and quality of service for 1,2 millions of users who use it every day.

Specifically, Indra's SAE facilitates the control of programming subsystems, regulation, video surveillance inside buses, as well as the traveler information systems on board and in the 160 stations that make up the network through 346 TFT digital information panels and fence 2.000 surveillance cameras (embarked and installed in the stations), with a maintenance contract for ten years.

Indra has implemented this project in the Intelligent Transportation Information Center (CITI), from which “room operators view 24×7 the location, route and speed of each of the units in real time through a video wall or their workstations, from which they can also interact directly with the bus operators”, explains María Teresa Safón, Transportation Director of Indra in Mexico.

Thanks to the management team, GPS control and location on board the buses, called Nauta, and mobile communications infrastructure, with GPRS technology, WiFi and 3G, From this center the location of each bus in the fleet is constantly monitored, so that in the event of any incident in the service, quick and efficient decision-making is carried out in real time.

Besides, This solution allows you to generate reports and graphs to optimize the quality of the service offered, improve productivity and respond efficiently to the needs that are demanded, which results in cost reduction and better operations.

The safety of passengers and the fleet is based on the 1.220 video surveillance cameras and in the aforementioned Nauta system. Each bus has three onboard cameras installed, to which is added one located at the front of the bus to show the route that the driver takes and thus have full control of the outside if an incident occurs., collision, etc.
