Company’s software programmes to overhaul the country’s transportation systems
PTV Group, a leading provider of traffic and logistics software solutions, recently announced that they are appointed as a sub-contractor to the Consortium selected by Ashghal, Qatar’s Public Works Authority, for its project to design, build and implement an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) software solution for the Roads Management Centre (RMC).
The ITS software solution will seamlessly integrate all the currently separate road sub-systems making RMC the central hub of all monitoring, operation and management within Qatar.
PTV Group will provide software for micro simulation and traffic forecasting. The company will collect available GPS data and extract speeds that can be used for simulation and real-time and mid-term forecasts, for the whole Qatar network.
PTV software will also be used to calculate Estimated Time of Arrivals (ETA) of public transport services at stops, as well as transfer alerts on stops where transfer time exceeds given threshold, due to delays. The software programmes that will be used for this project are PTV Optima, PTV Visum and PTV Vissim.
“Our software programmes offer an extensive range of dedicated features and detailed modelling possibilities. We will implement real-time model-based solutions and microsimulation modelling to assist in managing and monitoring the roads under the responsibility of the Roads Management Centre,” affirmed Andrea Petti, Managing Director, PTV Group MENA.
