- Changde, Guilin, Korla and Liaocheng commissioned the technology of the IT multinational whose traffic control systems were previously implemented in Chonqing tunnels and in several motorways of the country
- The solution will help increase safety and reduce traffic time, costs and environmental impact
- This way Indra reinforces its experience in urban traffic control with projects in cities such as: San Sebastian, Las Condes in Chile or Curitiba, in Brazil, an international benchmark in terms of sustainable urban traffic management
Indra, the premier IT company in Spain and a leading multinational in Europe, is implementing the latest urban traffic control technology in Changde, Guilin, Korla (Bazhou) and Liaocheng, all of them in China, for an amount exceeding 13 million Euros.
The projects include the design, development, implementation and start-up of the traffic control centres in each city. The centres will be equipped with smart traffic monitoring, signalling and traffic lights; closed circuit TV surveillance, speed control, traffic violation or user information system, among others.
Indra's solution will enable the monitorisation of all systems in real time as well as continuous followup of the traffic which will optimise the flow of vehicles, reduce traffic time, costs and environmental impact while increasing safety. Furthermore, the followup systems of traffic lights violations through automatic license plate recognition and a management system of traffic offences will help the police control and fine such violations.
Thanks to the system's modularity feature it can de customised according to the clients' needs, a new telecommunications system or to meet new requirements. This technology complies with the latest national and international standards related to urban traffic management and mobility. For instance, Indra is one of the six companies who own a traffic lights regulator certified under China's GB-25280 norm.
Mobile emergency unit
In the case of Liaocheng, the company will also be responsible for the mobile emergency unit. It consists of an all-terrain vehicle equipped with cutting-edge satellite communications, high-resolution cameras, an air autonomous system and an automated fire extinguishing system etc integrated in the control centre. This vehicle is being broadly used by the Chinese police force in accidents and emergencies.
The projects of Changde, Guilin, Korla (Bazhou) and Liaocheng reinforce Indra's experience in urban traffic control. The company has references in Spanish cities such as: San Sebastian, Pamplona or Albacete; Las Condes in Chile or in Curitiba, Brazil, an international benchmark in terms of sustainable urban traffic management.
In China the company has implemented a thorough control and safety system in tunnels of Chongqing as well as toll and traffic control systems in several motorways.
Indra en China
The company has been active in China since 1997 and set up a subsidiary in 2002 in Beijing to manage expansion in Asia-Pacific. The company has carried out projects dealing with air traffic control, simulation, traffic control systems for tunnels and motorways, railway access control and safety systems.
In air traffic control, it is engaged in the deployment of the radar surveillance system which will control nearly 60% of China's air space. It is also implementing the technology necessary to manage the upper airspace of eight provinces from Xian and Chengdu centres, covering an area similar to Western Europe in extension.
In addition to this, the Spanish company signed an agreement with Eurocpter to boost the training of helicopter pilots in China. The first milestone of the project is the development and implementation by Indra of the first helicopter simulator to enter service in China. This project strengthens the company's position in the Chinese simulation market, where it has delivered aircraft simulation systems to Air China and Hainan Airlines during the last years.
Indra has finished the deployment of the maritime surveillance system in Hink Kong to control the traffic of vessels in its territorial waters and has developed the access control systems for the Shanghai underground and the light rail which connects Tianjin with Binhai.
Indra is the premier Information Technology company in Spain and a leading IT multinational in Europe and Latin America. It is ranked as the second European company in its sector according to investment in R&D with nearly € 500 M during the last three years. In 2010 revenues reached € 2,557 M of which a 40% came from the international market. The company employs more than 31,000 professionals and has clients in more than 110 countries.
