been awarded a contract by Saudi Oger Ltd, with the High Commission for

lead to a decrease in accident rates and an increase in users' safety.

Specifically, the following systems will be implemented and integrated:
fire detection control, closed-circuit television (CCTV) surveillance,
traffic data collection station, ramp metering, variable message

authorities in their commitment to optimizing urban mobility in the
interests of creating a safer and more pleasant environment for
citizens, thereby improving their quality of life."

a light rail priority system in Oran, this project enables Telvent to
improve and consolidate its position in the market encompassing
