134 Telvent GIT, real-time IT solutions and information provider, is to implement its urban mobility control centre and traffic light installation maintenance service for the city of Castellón de la Plana, Valencia, Spain. The contract includes Telvent’s integrated service management platform, SmartMobility ICM, which will enable coordinated management of all aspects of the city’s urban mobility. Initial focus will be on centralised monitoring of smart traffic infrastructures and traveller information panels, allowing local authorities to progressively introduce the city’s other services associated with mobility, including public transportation and parking facilities.

The ICM platform provides control centre operators with advanced management tools, improved communication among administrations, and facilitates coordinated management of road construction, incidents and events, as well as real-time supervision of traffic conditions and short-term situation forecasting.

Information from the system will be integrated into the Castellón de la Plana website, providing users with information on routes and travel times, traffic conditions and details of any existing road network incidents and their potential effects in terms of modifications to public transport.

Telvent will also provide a travel time system, using Bluetooth and wi-fi signals, to provide data on traffic status, vehicle flow, capacity estimation, pattern identification, congestion and incident detection alarms, historical data records and forecasts, analysis of origin/destination matrices and generate reports for traffic operators.
