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.

As a component of this maintenance contract, Telvent will employ its integrated service management platform, Telvent SmartMobility ICM, which will enable coordinated management of all aspects of the city’s urban mobility. The initial platform focus will concentrate on centralised monitoring of smart traffic infrastructures and traveller information panels, allowing the local authorities to progressively introduce the city’s other services associated with mobility, including public transportation and parking facilities.

The ICM platform will provide urban mobility control centre operators with advanced management tools, improve communication among administrations, and facilitate coordinated management of road construction, incidents, and political, social or sports events. The platform also provides real-time supervision of traffic conditions, analysis of historical evolution, and short-term situation forecasting.

Telvent will also integrate information from the ICM platform into the Castellón de la Plana web site, 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 transportation. Users will also be able to access information on points of tourist and cultural interest, significantly enhancing the experience for the city’s visitors.

In addition to the ICM platform, Telvent will 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; the system also will also analyse origin/destination matrices and generate reports for traffic operators.
