GMV plays a leading role at the 25th ITS Spain Congress

As another demonstration of its commitment to mobility, GMV was a key participant at the 25th edition of the Spanish Congress on Intelligent Transportation Systems, known as ITS Spain, which took place from February 18‑20 at the Spanish Engineering Institute in Madrid. In addition to GMV’ role as one of the event’s sponsors, representatives from the company took part in various sessions, which provided a unique forum not only for discussing topics related to transportation, but also for proposing innovative solutions.

This year’s gathering took place under the slogan “The Road to ITS Seville 2025”, in reference to the ITS European Congress that will be held in that Spanish city in May. This edition of the event addressed multiple aspects of public transportation and intelligent mobility, with some of the most notable topics including autonomous driving, ITS in infrastructure, connected mobility, ITS in interurban traffic, smart cities, and data use and management for optimizing urban mobility. There was also a focus on other essential elements for modernizing public transportation, such as data integration and advanced ticketing systems.

During the event, representatives from GMV shared updates on the company’s activities in the industry, and they gave presentations on several of the company’s current projects. During the session entitled “Information Systems in Public Transportation”, Antonio Abascal, head of Bus and Light Rail Projects in GMV’s Intelligent Transportation Systems division, gave a talk entitled “Global Computer-Aided Dispatch and Automatic Vehicle Location (CAD/AVL) and its International Implementation”, and Isidro Prieto, head of Railroad Segment Business Development in GMV’s Intelligent Transportation Systems division, discussed ways of integrating ITS into railroad projects during the session entitled “Data and Public Transportation”. Two of GMV’s other experts in Intelligent Transportation Systems, Oscar Casado and Fernando Ibeas, participated in the consecutive sessions held on “Advanced Ticketing Systems in Public Transportation”, where they addressed the topics of interoperability and modern payment methods.

The event culminated in a ceremony to announce the winners of the ITS 2025 Awards, where GMV took the top spot in the Public Transportation category, with Miguel Ángel Martínez Olagüe, GMV’s General Manager of Intelligent Transportation Systems, present to accept the award on the company’s behalf.
