75% Reduced Travel Time: New Colombia Traffic Management System Strengthens
Regional Economy
- Intelligent Transport System increases throughput, reduces travel times by
almost 75%
- Safer traffic for individuals and better mobility for businesses in
Antioquia region
Vienna/Bogotá, April 28, 2022 - Within just a few months the highways and
tunnels of the Vias del Nus concession have registered over 300,000 vehicles.
Stretching over 157 kilometers, the Vias del Nus highway network connects
Colombia's second largest city Medellin and its 2.5 million inhabitants with
the eastern parts of the Antioquia region. The intelligent transportation
system used by the concession provides safety and improved mobility for road
users. This also helps the tourism, agricultural and transportation sectors of
the surrounding municipalities, as the roadway connects the region to more
populated areas of the country.
"From December 4 to date, the operation has been impeccable. More than 300,000
vehicles have passed through and there have been no incidents, with the
exception of a couple of stranded vehicles that have been attended to
immediately, so we are very satisfied," says Ricardo López Lombana, General
Manager of Vinus.
It is estimated that vehicle circulation through the concession's La Quiebra
tunnels has increased by 60% since the system was implemented, positively
impacting the region's economy.
"Tourist traffic to previously difficult-to-reach municipalities has
skyrocketed. What used to be a three-hour drive from Medellin can now be
reached within 40 to 50 minutes, increasing competitivity and attracting new
investors to the region," continues the Vinus manager.
Olga Villegas, Vice President of Kapsch TrafficCom for Colombia and the entire
Andean Region, adds: "We at Kapsch TrafficCom are proud to provide reliable
and safe technological solutions in such a strategic project that improves the
country's transportation network. Our DYNAC solution guarantees the high level
of security required by this important road corridor that is frequented by
thousands of vehicles every day."
The La Quiebra tunnels, 4.3 kilometers each, are the first tunnels in Latin
America to be equipped with the high performance software suite DYNAC,
developed and implemented by Kapsch TrafficCom. DYNAC integrates three systems
that are usually found separately: a SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition) system for control of electromechanical elements, an incident
management system and a system for ATMS (Advanced Traffic Management System)
management. In its modern control center, the system manages and monitors
traffic, responding to any incident quickly and efficiently to prevent
congestion.
Kapsch TrafficCom is a globally renowned provider of transportation solutions
for sustainable mobility. Innovative solutions in the application fields of
tolling, tolling services, traffic management and demand management contribute
to a healthy world without congestion.
Kapsch has brought projects to fruition in more than 50 countries around the
