Kapsch TrafficCom wins motorway project in Germany
• Groundbreaking C-ITS project increases safety on motorways
• Kapsch TrafficCom supplies, installs and operates hardware and
software
Berlin, January 18, 2023 – Kapsch TrafficCom (KTC) has signed a contract
for a groundbreaking C-ITS (Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems)
project with the German Autobahn GmbH of the Federal Government on 4
October 2023.
The contract is expected to be worth EUR 7 million and can grow up to EUR
36 million if all conditional stages for the introduction of further
services are fully confirmed.
Under the project, mobile barrier boards indicating limited-time work
sites will be equipped with so-called ITS Roadside Stations (IRS), which
send warning messages directly to approaching vehicles. This can reduce
the risk of accidents in dangerous road works areas, as drivers are
informed more quickly and directly about road works.
Carolin Treichl, Executive Vice President EMENA at Kapsch TrafficCom,
explains: “We are very pleased to work with Autobahn GmbH on this
pioneering European C-ITS project. Construction sites are zones with a
higher risk of accidents than other road areas – and because people work
on the road here, safety is particularly important.”
Design, implementation, maintenance and operation
In addition to around 1,200 IRS, Kapsch TrafficCom is supplying the
cloud-based CMCC (Connected Mobility Control Center) software that
controls the IRS and can also act as an interface to other traffic
management systems. In addition to the installation of the hardware, which
is carried out in cooperation with a local partner company, KTC is also
responsible for the operation and maintenance of all system elements for a
period of up to 12 years together with Autobahn GmbH.
“We have global experience with the implementation and operation of such
projects to ensure the long-term availability and stability of the
systems. The technology, which can also be used for urban applications, is
future-proof – so further use cases can be covered with the existing
hardware and software,” says Marko Frank, Sales Manager Germany at Kapsch
TrafficCom.
C-ITS enables the mobility of the future
C-ITS technology can make a substantial contribution to road safety and
the prevention of congestion, as relevant information can be exchanged
more quickly and directly between vehicles, road infrastructure and road
operators.
In addition to the essential use cases that are now being implemented in
Germany, the technology can also be used, for example, to transmit
warnings of traffic jams, approaching emergency vehicles or even rain or
fog on the roadway, thereby preventing accidents.
In urban areas, the technology can be used above all to make high-risk
zones, such as intersections, safer for all road users in order to prevent
accidents and improve the general flow of traffic and mobility, whether by
bicycle, car, public transport or on foot.
“Technology offers the unique opportunity to connect all elements of the
transport infrastructure and thus shape the mobility of the future.
Connected vehicles create more safety, reliability, speed and, above all,
sustainability,” concludes Marko Frank.
