Kapsch TrafficCom ayuda a controlar el tráfico y la seguridad urbana en Avilés

The project, que cuenta con una inversión que supera el millón de euros, incluye mejoras en el control de accesos de vehículos al casco histórico con el objeto de mejorar la seguridad en esta ciudad asturiana.

He Ayuntamiento de Avilés has been awarded to Kapsch TrafficCom la gestión del sistema de control de tráfico de la ciudad para los próximos cuatro años. Para desarrollar este proyecto, la compañía propone implantar como evolución técnica EcoTrafiX, una herramienta que ayuda en la gestión integral de la movilidad y en los procesos de mantenimiento mediante la gestión de activos.

Aunque esta plataforma estaría centrada en los sistemas actuales de la ciudad de Avilés, supondrá la base sobre la que se podrá ir creciendo, en funcionalidad, services and integrated systems, expanding the scope of global management.

The project award includes improvements that will result in greater mobility and road safety. The improvements signed in the contract, whose investment exceeds one million euros, include several actions on the vehicular access control system to the historic center that will involve the installation of an environmental camera, another dome and an exit gate for the access control system that will improve security in the area where it is located.

With these measures, the Local Police traffic department will be able to ensure greater surveillance in the most problematic areas in terms of road safety in the city.

The contract also includes maintenance services for the traffic light network, the traffic management system in pedestrian areas, the traffic management system through closed-circuit TV and traffic control in the municipality.

EcoTrafiX helps cities to be smart

Madrid, Málaga, Bilbao, Vitoria, Castellón, Donostia, La Coruña, Valladolid, Palencia or Huelva are cities where the EcoTrafiX system by Kapsch is already being implemented, a tool designed to capture, add, archive and monitor various data sources, helping the municipal technical management to obtain an aggregated view of them for real-time management and subsequent analysis.

EcoTrafiX, among other features, integrates the data collected at the stations with various point measurements such as traffic intensities, instantaneous speeds, directional counts and fleet characterization.

In this way, municipalities can analyze and identify the causes of congestion and provide effective solutions for its mitigation. Besides, the system unifies the data obtained from a statistical sample of sensor-equipped vehicles, obtaining real-time information on traffic, as well as data from other municipal services, such as municipally-owned parking, on-street parking, those related to fines, public transport, and any other that might be relevant.
