Austrian ITS firm Kapsch TrafficCom has won a £30M contract to supply its advanced traffic management system ‘DYNAC’ for use on Highways England’s motorways and major A roads.
The system is a reliable and secure integrated software suite that can be used to detect and respond to congestion, incidents, emergency situations and other conditions on the network.
The solution will initially be delivered and installed by Kapsch at Highways England’s regional control centre in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. It will then be rolled out to the rest of the network by a third party.
Project partner CGI is responsible for the implementation of interface software that allows Highways England to integrate existing roadside devices with DYNAC.
Highways England services procurement team leader Neil Widdop said: “The new system will allow us to improve our operational efficiencies through use of a modern, national, integrated system.
“As we improve our operational efficiency, we can expect road users to benefit from quicker responses to incidents leading to improved safety and greater convenience for drivers.”
Meanwhile Transport Scotland has awarded its ‘Traffic Scotland Systems Contract’ to Cubic Transportation Systems’ ITMS (Integrated Transportation Management System) subsidiary.
Working with technology partner IBI Group, the firm will provide an integrated system of incident management, traffic information services, journey time alerts, CCTV systems and data warehousing across Scotland’s trunk road network
The contract will support the delivery of Traffic Scotland functionality on all of the country’s major road construction schemes.
