GMV has reached an agreement with the Limassol Tourism Development and Promotion Company Ltd (ETAL) for installment of intelligent systems in Limassol District’s urban and interurban transport network.

The new systems to be fitted on this coastal region’s buses include passenger information systems, both in street panels and onboard the buses. The signed contract comprises 40 intelligent urban bus-stops with solar-panel-powered, low-consumption information panels showing ETAs plus messages and announcements sent from the control center. There will also be 40 onboard information panels with multimedia contents and information on the bus-line in question. Also to be delivered under this agreement is content-management software for system configuration, including cartographic management of the content to be displayed on panels and buses.

Present at the agreement-signing ceremony were Vassiliki Anastassiadou, Minister of Communications, Transport and Works; Tony Antoniou, President of the Limassol Tourism Development and Promotion Company Ltd; and Fermín Catalán, deputy general manager of intelligent transportation systems.

The Minister of Communications, Transport and Works of the Republic of Cyprus, as a partner of the Civitas project (CIty-VITAlity-Sustainability) of the H2020 framework R&D program, embarked on a renewal plan of Limassol’s transport network with the aim of bringing in a more sustainable model. Under this new contract GMV’s new solutions will ensure full compatibility with the formerly implemented systems.
