RSSIn a contract valued at around US$18 million, 509 Indra is to implement a traffic monitoring system in Kuwait City on behalf of the Kuwait Municipality.

The contract includes the technology for the traffic management centre, installation of over 200 permanent traffic sensors and gathering and integration of data from about 3,000 locations throughout the city within the new monitoring system, including integration of different vehicle detection technologies, with radar systems, loops, video cameras and weighing systems.

All these systems communicate with the Kuwaiti municipality’s traffic data centre via an advanced traffic data management system, also implemented by Indra, which will transmit the data to the departments responsible for the city’s traffic and mobility, maintenance teams, emergency services and police. It will also provide drivers with up to date travel information.

Indra claims the contract is a new step forward for the company in Kuwait, a country which plans to invest US$1 billion in its Infrastructure Development Plan with projects involving roads, ports, the railway which will connect with other countries of the Persian Gulf, and the Kuwaiti metro. Indra has already equipped the Kuwait City Airport with its air traffic management technology.
