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.

    To complement its existing WIM offering, IRD has introduced a system to detect under-inflated and flat tyres at highway speeds. Tyre inflation pressure has both safety and economic impacts for road users and none more so than with commercial vehicles. An underinflated tyre has decreased directional control, increased risk of catastrophic failure, and negatively impacts tyre life and fuel economy. In June 2014 the USDOT published Large Truck and Bus Crash Facts 2012 in which the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
