Kapsch TrafficCom has partnered with the Mobility Department of Santa Cruz through a €189,000 (c.£158,000) contract to reduce congestion and optimise the use of car parks for more sustainable mobility.
Coordinated by councilor Evelyn Alonso, the new system includes five cameras that monitor the entrance and exit of the car park, counting the vehicles and calculating the available spaces in real time.
In addition, specific sensors have been installed to manage the 120 spaces reserved for people with disabilities, guaranteeing equitable and orderly access for all users.

Additionally, three variable message panels have been placed along the seven kilometers of coastal road leading to the beach.
These panels provide up-to-date information, allowing drivers to make informed decisions before reaching their destination, assessing whether the car park is full, so drivers can choose alternatives, thus reducing congestion in the San Andrés area.
CEO of Kapsch TrafficCom Spain and Portugal Javier Aguirre said: “Spain has more than 3,000 beaches that attract both locals and tourists, so guaranteeing access to these coastal areas and preserving them for future generations is a substantial element.
“This project will not only improve mobility in Las Teresitas but will also contribute to a more pleasant experience for all visitors.”
