Castilla-La Mancha: This project will cover the implementation, start-up, operation, and maintenance of a digital platform aimed at improving the quality of current services. The project, with a lead time of 24 months, will integrate information from the local computer-aided dispatch (CAD) systems of concessionaire operators, as well as the management of a fleet estimated to have at least 1,000 vehicles.
The goals of the project are as follows:
- Centralize and standardize information on the full range of services throughout the region.
- Provide real-time information to users, reducing waiting times at stops.
- Facilitate the purchase of public transportation services through advance sales and reservation of seats.
- Promote the use of contactless payment methods.
- Improve ticketing control by better managing operator compensation.
- Streamline the functions and tasks of the government of Castilla-La Mancha’s Directorate-General of Transportation and Mobility.
- Optimize the planning, design, and operation of transportation services through immediate diagnostics.
The new regional CAD will be fed with information from the operators’ CADs, which in turn will receive information from the equipment on board the buses that are not part of this project. This new platform will allow for the interoperability of the different local CAD solutions that make up Castilla-La Mancha’s intercity transportation network.
Castilla y León: The project will bring together all the public transportation information for the upcoming implementation of concessions in the new Concession Map for Regular Public Road Passenger Transportation in Castilla y León, as well as the management of all the services for government agencies, operators, and the general public that will generated using this information, all with the goal of improving the technological systems used for regional public transportation.
The central system is part of the plan drawn up by the regional government to achieve the goals established in the Transportation Reorganization Plan. In addition, the basic version must be operational before new concessions begin to use, and therefore implement it. The implementation phase will cover 22 months of supply and two years of warranty. It will be structured in several phases, such that the first phase will be executed in time for the start of operation of the new concessions.
The project, representing the highest level in the ITS architecture defined by the regional government, includes the supply of a central system capable of integrating data from multiple operators. It consists of a back-end with functional services and a front-end for user management. The control center includes CAD validation and sales features, passenger information, and integration with the local CAD systems of other operators, which make up Level 3 of the regional government’s ITS architecture.
Murcia: GMV will implement the new Central ITS Management System, thus improving public transportation capabilities and offering a comprehensive solution designed for future growth with third party suppliers, based on European standards and incorporating cutting-edge technology. With a lead time of 24 months and a two-year warranty, the new GMV ITS Suite of applications stands out in the market, having been developed from scratch with modern technologies.
This includes the installation of the new DTD200 onboard sales machine, developed entirely by GMV, in Murcia’s bus fleet (134 vehicles), together with TVM10 and TVM150 self-service sales and reloading machines, an onboard video-surveillance system, solar-powered user information panels, and all the central systems. These central systems comprise fleet management and fare management.
The new equipment will allow users to validate bus entry using various methods such as CARM card, QR codes, EMV, and to recharge their user cards at different points in the region with credit card or cash automatically. An additional distinctive feature is the ABT (Account-Based Ticketing) system. All these enhancements offer a complete and modern solution that is adaptable to new technologies and future applications, improving the end-user experience.
Aragón: SITPA (Aragón’s Central ITS Management System for public transportation) will centralize all public transportation operations under a single system, optimizing communication and resource management. The system will integrate the Level 3 computer-aided dispatch (CAD) systems of the region’s various transport operators into a central Level 4 system.
It will act as a multi-operator and multi-fleet control center, enabling comprehensive and centralized management of transportation resources. In addition, an advanced ticketing system will be implemented that will include prepaid ABT, postpaid ABT, and ABT with multi-token accounts (EMV, QR). In this way, this new regional CAD will allow the interoperability of different possible local CAD solutions that make up Aragón’s intercity transportation network, bringing together integrated mobility and reliable information in real time.
The project will also incorporate various CAD modules, from the reception and processing of information in real time to the management of content on information panels. The support and intelligent services components will cover data mining, payment method management, and customer care. GMV will not only provide the necessary technology and architecture for the effective deployment of the system, integrating the information of the local CADs, but will also guarantee the system’s adaptability through its implementation in three phases: Minimum, Basic, and Complete Central System. This ensures an efficient transition, minimizing any possible service interruptions and allowing for adjustments based on emerging needs and user response.
