Capacity control automation to protect passengers from Covid-19

INDRA’S NEW DEVELOPMENT FOR METROVALENCIA IS AN EXAMPLE OF ITS COMMITMENT TO INNOVATION WITHIN INDRA’S TRANSPORTATION DIVISION.

Indra has developed a new system for Metrovalencia that enables train capacity to be restricted automatically, by locking the station’s turnstile access control system.

The solution, which will come into operation in October, is integrated with an information system by means of screens located at the entrances to stations, which will keep users informed of the blocking of entrances and of the estimated time they will remain blocked before they go to the platforms.

In this way, Indra’s technology – developed in record time – will help protect the public and will reduce the risk of infection, as well as maintaining and enhancing Metro’s security, functionality and quality of service.

Indra’s new development for Metrovalencia is an example of its commitment to innovation within Indra’s transportation division. The company is leading the efforts to make the integrated payment for all means of transport through mobile phones and other advanced systems become a reality, participating in such ambitious innovation initiatives as is the Shif2Rail, the main European RDI initiative for the railway sector.

Indra also works to offer the best service to passengers, which means increased use of public transport, with a consequent improvement in mobility and a reduction in gridlocks and polluting emissions in cities.
