VINCI presents its intelligent transport solutions at ITS World Congress
5 October 2015 - Events - France
VINCI will be presenting its innovations for transport and mobility at the 22nd Intelligent Transport Systems World Congress and Exhibition.
The ITS Congress and Exhibition is the world’s largest event in intelligent transport systems and services. Through the main theme “Towards Intelligent Mobility – Better Use of Space”, the Bordeaux Congress will focus not only on how achieving intelligent mobility will change our lives but also on the benefits space can bring to ITS applications.
Some of the VINCI key solutions being presented at the ITS World Congress
INNOVATIONS FOR SMART ROADS
Smartvia® Cryo: a connected system for managing road networks.
Smartvia® Cryo measures and transmits road temperatures on the surface and at depth. It was designed and developed by Signature Traffic Systems in partnership with Eurovia’s Research & Development Centre, which initiated the project. The wireless, energy-autonomous communicating system can be installed by simple coring on existing roads.
The Novatherm® demonstrator: energy-producing roadways. Thermal screens built into a roadway recover geothermal energy to melt snow in winter. In summer, the solar energy captured by the roadway allows heat to be supplied to infrastructure in the surrounding area. The roadway thereby acts as a heat exchanger, with the added advantage of being silent and invisible. The innovation was developed by Eurovia.
THE ADDED VALUE OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES TO HELP MOBILITY
The connected motorway
VINCI Autoroutes is developing its digital services offer and making multiple initiatives that take advantage of interactivity and Internet communities.
The VINCI Autoroutes smartphone app offers its 500,000 users a wide range of innovative functions, including real-time traffic conditions and the possibility of saving favourite routes and signing up to receive personalised traffic alerts.
Radio VINCI Autoroutes (107.7), which broadcasts continuous information to drivers along the 4,386 km of the VINCI Autoroutes’ motorway network, has joined forces with Waze, a community-based traffic and navigation app. Thanks to the association, drivers receive and share real-time information on the portions of their journey outside of the VINCI Autoroutes network.
Optimise travellers time in transport Integration of appropriate technology in infrastructure and interconnection between different transport modes play a major part in user mobility. VINCI Concessions is presenting its main reference in the field, the Rhônexpress. This recent tramway links Lyon Part-Dieu rail station to the city’s Saint Exupéry Airport, supplying passengers throughout the journey with real-time practical information, including flight and train times, and a free Wi-Fi connection. To meet the passengers’ growing need for connectivity, the airports managed by VINCI Airports in France, Portugal and Cambodia offer free, unlimited Wi-Fi and additional services.
TECHNOLOGY TO OPTIMISE INFRASTRUCTURE OPERATIONS
Traffic regulation and journey-time management
Monitoring and management of traffic flows are central to VINCI’s projects on its motorway networks in France and abroad. The SmarTIC solution developed by VINCI Energies in Prague, Czech Republic, is an example of a regulation system that enables centralised traffic management.
Real-time supervision
The central control room designed by VINCI Energies for the automatic metro in Lyon, France, manages the driverless trains and supervises installations in stations. The operating aid system is fully automated and manages all traffic on the line centrally and in total security.
During the congress, Radio VINCI Autoroutes will broadcast a daily special report and interview experts on the subject of intelligent transport.

TUESDAY, 6TH OF OCTOBER 2015
With VEGA©, on VINCI booth (B16 - Hall 1), Signature Group demonstrates an innovation combining mobility and sustainable development. This innovative approach to bicycle mobility with electrical assistance includes associated equipment and services. Entirely autonomous, the solar station is exclusively powered through photovoltaic panels. The energy recovered recharges the bicycle batteries when parked. VEGA© offers a solution to companies and local communities wishing to adopt an innovative and scalable solution in their mobility plan.
