Indra wins £524m TfL ticketing contract Indra Group has won a mammoth contract to operate the ticketing and access control system of the entire public transportation network of London and its metro area. The deal, which includes maintenance and development, runs until 2034, and is valued at £524 million ( 605m). This could rise to £845m ( 975m), Indra says, with possible extensions and options until 2039. TfL's system sees 8.6 million daily journeys and more than 3.6 billion each year. Indra will manage turnstiles, validators, ticket vending machines, retail sales terminals and portable inspection equipment.
Ertico and ITF-OECD aim for closer ties Ertico ITS Europe has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the International Transport Forum. The MoU establishes a framework for closer collaboration between ITF-OECD - a global, intergovernmental platform concerned primarily with transport policy - and Ertico, whose public-private role is to drive deployment of ITS. Among the advantages of the

Lyft AVs aim to boost Hamburg connectivity Hamburg and Freenow by Lyft have agreed to advance the integration of Level 4 AVs into the northern German city's taxi sector. They will set clear guidelines on how to integrate AVs into transport options, such as mass transit, scaling from pilot testing to regular, citywide services. The partnership will pilot AVs in Altona-West, Hamburg North and Bergedorf. Tests will begin in areas where Freenow has approval from Hamburg s Authority for Transport and Mobility Transition to establish a service to improve access to public transport hubs.

Inrix and Automotus make space for kerb info Inrix has extended what it calls its ground truth parking and loading zone availability coverage in the US. It is partnering with automated kerb management company Automotus to provide new data on high-density urban centres such as Miami, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Philadelphia. Ground truth is information that is known to be real or true and which is provided by direct observation and measurement as opposed to that which comes from inference. Inrix said the deal adds nearly 400 city blocks of real-time data to its parking engine.
'Gobsmacking' rise of ANPR invisibility Sarah Coombes, MP for the UK's governing Labour Party, who is campaigning for law changes to outlaw ghost plates , says: "I was absolutely gobsmacked by the amount of videos on social media explaining exactly what a ghost plate did, which makes you invisible to ANPR, how easy they are to buy not only is this a huge road safety problem, it's clearly a criminal problem as well." Chris Shepherd, head of products and services at MAV Systems, says: "We've now got to try and identify those plates . We're dealing with a problem that's already epidemic." VIDEO:

locals is critical to ensure area transportation networks are ready to handle potentially unprecedented travel demand. A new eBook from StreetLight explores how transportation planning and operations professionals can analyse previous events to shed light needed to keep eventgoers, residents, and goods moving during mega-events. When a city hosts a mega-event like the Fifa World Cup, they re often in fact hosting multiple interconnected events around the same timeframe," says StreetLight. "In the case of the Fifa World Cup, each host city will manage match events and Fan Festivals on multiple dates. That s why a network-

The eBook investigates one particularly event-rich weekend in Kansas City one of the upcoming 2026 Fifa World Cup host cities to reveal potential upcoming mega-event, such as roads or corridors that may require additional transit capacity. This analysis offers a framework other jurisdictions can use to generate actionable insights for their own planned special events. The eBook also highlights how transit systems are key to a positive fan and resident experience during mega-events and explores what cities can do to expand transit service to avoid crush loads and travel delays on key routes.
SERNIS ENGINEERS PARKING AS A SAFE, GROUND-VALIDATED PROCESS "Cruising for parking" is a critical blind spot in road safety strategy. This daily ritual transforms drivers into distracted hunters, forcing them to scan kerbs rather than crosswalks, while clogging arteries needed by emergency services. The solution to this hidden danger lies in the SR-GROUNDSENSE sensor. SR-GROUND-SENSE introduces a dual-technology approach, integrating microwave detection technology with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). This dual-technology architecture creates a rigorous validation process. By utilising physical presence, the sensor effectively This precision is vital for safety: if a system produces false positives, drivers lose trust and revert to "hunting", immediately
