Long-term collaboration to optimize Valladolid's advanced urban mobility

Valladolid is a medium-sized city with 300,000 inhabitants, where Kapsch currently performs maintenance and support for traffic operation. For more than 30 years without interruption, the state-of-the-art traffic control equipment and strategies developed by the company have been successfully implemented and used.  

During all those years, new traffic equipment has been installed, including the latest EcoTrafiX™ models. The city's traffic is working with Kapsch's EcoTrafiX™ software, optimizing the mobility conditions of public trans+port, reducing traffic congestion in the city center and thus ensuring that people have the right to mobility in the best conditions.  

The traffic management system currently implemented provides advanced performance control and strategies for efficient mobility. In addition, with the help of the Valladolid City Council, proofs of concept have been developed to verify the development of new products and solutions such as Traffic Prediction. 

Through the EcoTrafiX™ platform, it provides the Department of Mobility of the City of Valladolid with a "system of systems", whose main functionalities include event and incident management, asset management, data analysis, report generation, as well as the availability of data to be used by other actors in the city.  

Promote a comprehensive interaction of the traffic control system with the rest of the systems, such as the parking management system and the public transport system, so that citizens only have to communicate with a single agent, from which they get all the reliable information about traffic and transport in the city. 

• Manage and control the traffic systems operated from the Mobility Control Centre in Valladolid.
• Support the operation of urban traffic control and control systems, including red light control and speed control equipment.
• Periodically renew and adjust existing traffic facilities and maintain the entire communications network.
• Integrate traffic management with underground and surface parking, as well as public transport systems.
• Maintain almost 300 controllers, 32 cameras, 8 red light control systems, 12 access control cameras in the San Cristóbal Industrial Estate, and 7 speed control systems with 24/7 service.
• Provide engineering, expert analysis and management of the Mobility Management Centre.

 Key achievements 

Technological renovation of traffic equipment, with the implementation of state-of-the-art equipment. Digitalization implies data quality.  

Continue to implement modules in the Comprehensive Traffic Mobility Platform, EcoTrafiX™, which means a significant improvement in mobility not only for vehicles, but also for any means of transport, including pedestrians. This platform will integrate the entire existing traffic system and allow municipal managers to make the right decisions.  

Reinforce the operation of the Control Center with a team of highly qualified management experts, including traffic analysts and engineers.
