Este año, un Sistema de Tráfico Inteligente (ITS) implementado por Kapsch TrafficCom comenzó a operar en la carretera Monterrey-Saltillo en México. El objetivo principal del nuevo sistema es mejorar la seguridad en la carretera, donde la mala visibilidad provocada por la niebla en determinadas épocas del año aumenta la probabilidad de accidentes.
Apoyado en otros procesos operativos implementados por la concesionaria en la carretera, esto ha resultado en una caída visible en el número de accidentes graves. Incluso con el aumento del tráfico en 2022, la cantidad de accidentes graves en la carretera seguirá disminuyendo, según sugieren los datos de Concesionaire.

“Our purpose as a company has always been to protect human life and we have a very serious commitment to work safety and the safety of highway users,” says Victor Michelet, systems director for Mexico at Roadis. “That is why in late 2017 we started looking at how technology could help us and we decided, along with a series of investments, to also invest in the technological part.”
The project by Kapsch includes the improvement and modernization of the entire intelligent transport system. This includes both legacy equipment as well as the incorporation of new state-of-the-art equipment and systems to improve the ability to monitor the highway and ensure the functionality and operability of the traffic management software. For this, the latest version of EcoTrafiX was implemented, integrating more than 100 devices for its operation along the 96km of the highway. This makes Monterrey–Saltillo one of the most highly equipped highways in the country.
“We opted for the EcoTrafiX solution because of the versatility and the manageable part of what it presents in preventive terms, such as constant monitoring of what happens on the highway, and also in reactive ones, such as action plans and automatic protocols,” says Michelet. “What we wanted was to have the centralized knowledge of everything that is happening, and now we have the ability to visualize almost the entire highway and make proactive management decisions.”
“We cooperated with the concessionaire for the design and adaptation of the project to maximize the functionalities and meet the requirements,” says On Santiago Rosas, solution consulting manager for Kapsch TrafficCom Mexico. “This includes the creation of response plans based on low visibility conditions and reports focused on the specific needs of the concessionaire.”
