134 Telvent's SmartMobility Light Rail Solution will be deployed for the new metropolitan light rail system in Spain’s Bay of Cadiz. The new light rail system, which will have a total of 22 stations along its 24km route, is expected to go into operation by 2011.

One of the most innovative aspects of the new light rail system is its having been conceived as a mixed transportation system, enabling convoys to move freely through the light rail and regional train networks. This unique feature, implemented with tremendous success in countries including Germany and Holland, yields higher light rail frequency and enhances intermodality among the different means of transportation.

The contract, valued at over US$24 million, encompasses implementation and integration of the operational assistance systems; automatic ticketing systems based on contact-less technology; traveller information system; closed-circuit television surveillance; intercom system; light rail signalling and the communications network.
