Plovdiv City Council, the second largest city in Bulgaria, has awarded 509 Indra a US$9 million contract to implement state-of-the-art contactless ticketing technology and an operation assistance system (OAS) for its public transportation service.

Indra will deploy its most advanced OAS technology in a control centre that will provide up-to-date information about the location of every bus in the Plovdiv fleet, thanks to the use of an integrated data model for multiple bus-operators, geographical information systems, on-board equipment and mobile communications infrastructure, with 3G technology and private networks implemented by the company. This information will facilitate real-time decision-making in the event of incidents, the need for reinforcements, or detect any deviations in scheduled services.

The control centre will also manage bus availability, connections and arrival time information provided to passengers through the latest-generation multimedia screens that will be installed on the city's 285 buses and at its 354 bus stops.
