LIDA generates traffic information for traffic managers, municipalities, and motorway concession holders, detecting the Bluetooth device in vehicles
LIDA is a robust system that generates relevant traffic information, deployed in Madrid in real operation conditions and failure-free since May 2014. LIDA provides a technological solution to the road mobility problem which generates annual losses of 88.000 million euros in USA and 839 million euros in the city of Madrid. LIDA acts in the market of traffic information and roadway sensors, which is estimated to reach a global turnover of 1.700 million euros in 2016.
LIDA provides a technological solution that generates traffic information in cities, highways and roads, by means of detecting the Bluetooth device embedded in vehicles.
LIDA generates detailed information about travel times, which cannot be provided by traditional systems based on magnetic loops. At the same time, this information fulfills the requirements imposed by municipalities regarding reliability, which is not reached by social network-based solutions.
In addition, LIDA improves the number-plate recognition systems both in cost and availability given that these solution cannot operate under unfavorable weather conditions. Finally, compared to other Bluetooth-based competitors LIDA allows the exact identification of vehicles, which results in a more accurate and cost-effective solution.
