Panasonic Connect and TMB improve road safety in Barcelona

The technological collaboration of Panasonic Connect con Barcelona Metropolitan Transport is based on the use of this manufacturer's Touchbook FZ-G2 tablet, for traffic control and detection of violations in the city's bus lane.

In response to the growing need to address the challenge of regulating bus lane use in Barcelona, Panasonic Connect collaborates with TMB in the development and implementation of advanced technology, based on its rugged devices, as Toughbook FZ-G2.

This control system will allow detecting and penalizing vehicles that violate traffic regulations in these exclusive lanes, thus improving the efficiency and safety of public transport in the city.

The collaboration, que comenzó el año pasado con el apoyo de Tradesegur, proveedor de soluciones de asistencia para la movilidad, ha llevado a cabo el equipamiento de un coche con la tecnología de Panasonic Connect.

Como parte de una prueba inicial de dos meses, el nuevo sistema ha dado resultados muy positivos, como señala Xavier Flores, consejero delegado de TMB: “la incorporación del coche de control fotográfico mejora la seguridad vial y reduce accidentes, al tiempo que fortalece el cumplimiento de las normativas de tráfico en los carriles bus de la ciudad”.

The system, operado por personal de TMB, utiliza un vehículo eléctrico equipado con cámaras de última generación para detectar infractores en los carriles bus, with the integration of the Panasonic Connect Toughbook FZ-G2 tablet, which offers efficient management of detected violations, with a fast and accurate process.

We are proud to collaborate with TMB in the implementation of this innovative technology, which will help improve urban mobility and road safety in Barcelona, emphasizes Isaac Feijoo, key account manager at Panasonic Computer Products Europe.
