BERLIN - Kapsch TrafficCom (KTC), a leading provider of transportation solutions, has been awarded a contract for a Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) project by the German Autobahn GmbH of the Federal Government. The contract, signed on October 4, 2023, is initially valued at EUR 7 million ($1 = €0.92), with the potential to increase to EUR 36 million if all stages of the project are fully realized.
The C-ITS initiative aims to enhance safety on motorways, particularly in construction zones. Kapsch TrafficCom will install around 1,200 ITS Roadside Stations (IRS) on mobile barrier boards to transmit warning messages directly to approaching vehicles. This technology is expected to reduce the risk of accidents by providing drivers with timely information about road works.
The scope of Kapsch TrafficCom's involvement includes the design, implementation, maintenance, and operation of the system elements. The company will also provide a cloud-based Connected Mobility Control Center (CMCC) software, which controls the IRS and integrates with other traffic management systems. In partnership with a local company, Kapsch TrafficCom will oversee the installation of the hardware and maintain the system for up to 12 years in collaboration with Autobahn GmbH.
