RSSSpanish IT firm, Eptisa TI, has developed a new computer which will allow the Spanish regional government for Aragon and road concession companies to maintain control of their road network and manage possible incidents. The system, based on 50 ESRI’s Geographic Information System (GIS), will allow companies to manage eight sectors which contain some 2,400 km of roads which are the responsibility of the Aragon government.

The new system is part of the RED Project, which is budgeted at over US$949 million for the first three years. The IT system includes an inventory of the road network and signalling, information on maintenance work in progress, scheduled and non-scheduled incidents on the network, and any traffic accidents. Quality indicators will also be collected to monitor the state of the roads. All this information will be used to manage the network more effectively.
