GMV has won a contract worth €16m (£13.45m) for the development and launch of the new central intercity public transportation management systems run by the governments of Castilla y León, Castilla La Mancha, Murcia, and Aragón.
Through the use of GMV’s Intelligent Transport System (ITS), the project will cover the implementation, start-up, operation, and maintenance of a digital platform aimed at improving the quality of current services.
The project, with a lead time of 24 months, will integrate information from the local computer-aided dispatch (CAD) systems of concessionaire operators, as well as the management of a fleet estimated to have at least 1,000 vehicles.
The new regional CAD will be fed with information from the operators’ CADs, which in turn will receive information from the equipment on board the buses that are not part of this project.
Regional intercity transportation systems in Spain have a high number of routes with low occupancy levels and loss-making operating results, many of which connect sparsely populated towns with the main urban centres.
As public services, their main goal is to ensure mobility for the general public and guarantee reliable, sustainable, resilient, and high-quality infrastructure.
GMV hopes that this new platform will allow for the interoperability of the different local CAD solutions that make up Castilla-La Mancha’s intercity transportation network.
In addition to these contracts for new regional systems, GMV also recently won the contract for continuing Galicia’s CAD system.
The company created Galicia’s ITS in 2015 and covers the region’s entire transportation management system, integrating information from 127 concessions and over 3,500 vehicles from the various road transportation operators with their CADs.
In 2022, GMV also upgraded the multi-fleet CAD system for the Barcelona area’s Metropolitan Transport Authority, a pioneering system that GMV set up in 2021.
Achievements and innovations in intelligent transport systems will be celebrated at the third annual CiTTi Awards, which will be held on 26 November 2024 at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London.
