Enhancing the efficiency of traffic signals maintenance in León

There are thousands of traffic signals and traffic lights in urban areas that need to be preserved in a perfect condition to guarantee road safety. However, municipalities often do not have an inventory of traffic elements, so they do not know how many of them need maintenance work.

Due to the absence of this data, many city councils are forced to fill in their municipal budgets with inaccurate items. For the same reason, maintenance companies often find it difficult to organize their logistics, something that is aggravated by the lack of tools to record the actions of their workers.

To solve these limitations, Vexiza relies on GIS technology to create a standardized information system. On the one hand, field technicians now have a mobile app to register from their tablets the traffic signals and the more than 600 traffic lights in the municipality of León. In the file card of any of them they can upload photos of their condition and indicate the date of their last revision, facilitating traceability in real time.

Both those responsible for maintenance and the council’s own technicians have a web application to visualize all the assets on a map and assign maintenance tasks to the operators. By clicking on any element, they can quickly access to additional information, such as the material, the length of painted lines on the road, or even photographs taken on-site.

In addition, to simplify logistical planning and speed up specific maintenance actions, it is possible to filter results by neighborhoods, districts, streets or date of installation; and export them to Excel or CSV format in order to facilitate the exchange of information between the different departments of municipal management.
