509 Indra, in partnership with Auneti (Autopista Necaxa-Tihuatlán) and 5656 FCC, has deployed traffic management technology in the six tunnels of the new Necaxa-Tihuatlán highway in Mexico. The US$18 million project also includes intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and control and communication systems on the 83 kilometres of highway sections 1 and 2.

A new operational control centre equipped with Indra's 7541 Horus integrated roadway and tunnel management solution manages traffic along the new road's two sections, enabling centralised control of the various systems installed in the new tunnels.

Horus integrates the intelligent transportation systems (ITS) installed along the highway, such as closed circuit television (CCTV) systems, traffic monitoring, road signage, communications, emergency call-boxes, fire detection, lighting control, ventilation and loudspeakers.

Operators are able to monitor the status of the highway at all times and have access to real time information for decision-making purposes.

Automatic incident detection systems, air quality measurement equipment, fire detection systems and weather stations have been installed throughout the highway, enabling immediate response to emergencies and incidents.

Variable message signs will provide drivers with real time information on road conditions, speed limits and incidents. The tunnels are also equipped with visibility sensors, an artificial lighting system, emergency and evacuation system and power generators and backup power systems.
