Improving Road Safety in Chile with Digital Twin Technology
In a significant step towards enhancing road safety, DXC Technology has teamed up with ISA Vías, one of the leading infrastructure operators in Chile. This collaboration marks a pivotal moment for the modernisation of critical transport infrastructure in the country, particularly along the
Ruta del Maipo, one of Chile's busiest highways, which accommodates over
7 million vehicles monthly.
The integration of
digital twin technology creates a real-time virtual representation of the physical roadway. This powerful solution allows ISA Vías to simulate various emergency scenarios, from vehicle rollovers to fire outbreaks and evacuation protocols, without interfering with actual traffic. By using this cutting-edge platform, road operators can train, test different response strategies, and enhance their emergency preparedness.
Andrés Contreras Herrera, CEO of ISA Vías in Chile, noted, _“This collaboration with DXC is a significant step in the modernisation of Chile’s infrastructure. By incorporating digital twin technology, we can better anticipate critical events, enhance safety protocols, and optimise traffic management. This initiative underscores our commitment to sustainability, innovation, and the safety of millions of drivers, setting a new standard in smart infrastructure.”_
Utilizing DXC's digital twin platform does not only improve emergency preparedness but also provides real-time insights for better traffic management, predictive maintenance, and data-driven decision-making. This contributes to more efficient operations and less disruption, creating a safer driving experience.
The ambitious plans for expansion include additional highways and tunnels, creating a new benchmark for protecting critical infrastructure across Latin America. Howard Boville, Executive Vice President of Advisory and Engineering Services - AI Enabled at DXC Technology, commented, _“Our partnership with ISA Vías showcases the transformative power of innovative technology in everyday lives. We are not only addressing the current challenges in road safety but also proactively anticipating future needs with data-driven insights. Our digital twin platform paves the way for a new era of intelligent transportation in Latin America.”_
