Texeira Duarte has awarded 509 Indra a contract for the design, installation and commissioning of intelligent traffic systems (ITS), control and communications for the Marao tunnel, currently under construction and which, spanning close to 6 km, is said to be the longest in Portugal and the Iberian Peninsula.

In addition, Indra will also implement its tunnel control technology for the tunnel of the Mashhad Metro Line 2 in Iran. The global value of these contracts for Indra is more than US$8 million

Indra will equip the Marao tunnel control centre with its proprietary Horus intelligent traffic and tunnel management solution, integrating and enabling a centralised control of the tunnel's different intelligent traffic systems (ITS). Indra will also implement automatic incident detection and video surveillance systems using closed circuit television (CCTV), signalling systems, fire detection, communication, public address system, SOS posts, and loading gauges and dangerous goods controls.

An advanced video surveillance system with automatic incident detection using artificial vision will enable an immediate response to events that could endanger user safety or traffic. The Indra solution will also integrate an innovative control system for dangerous goods using video surveillance and a license plate recognition system based on algorithms.
