Moscow acquires software for its traffic cameras
The Moscow Parking Space Administration (AMPP) has announced the launch of its fourth tender for parking control software in recent times. The contract, which is set to cost 1.77 billion rubles, will be open for bids until August 18.
Since 2018, AMPP has been using cameras provided by the company "Street Falcon", resembling street lamps, for controlling city parking. These cameras have been instrumental in recording traffic rule violations and administrative offenses, and they are also capable of identifying 20 types of violations, including parking rule violations, parking on sidewalks, stop lines, odd-numbered days, and on bike lanes.
The tender, which was posted on the government procurement portal, mentions the use of programs and databases for controlling parking spaces, photo-video fixation of traffic rule violations and administrative offenses, and providing remote access to software that can determine parking space occupancy and availability. The software should record violations in parking areas for a period of three years.
Interestingly, the winner of all three previous tenders was the company "Street Falcon". However, specific details about the outcomes and winning companies of these tenders are not readily available. To obtain this information, it may be necessary to consult official Moscow city government procurement portals, AMPP publications, or specialized tender databases focused on Russian public tenders. Alternatively, contacting AMPP or the Moscow city transport department might yield precise historical tender data.
In December 2024, AMPP published three tenders with the same object of procurement and time frame. The contract costs were 2.2 billion, 1.1 billion, and 2.2 billion rubles respectively. The current tender is the fourth one conducted by AMPP.
Bidders for the current tender are expected to provide the software for a period of three years. The software should also be able to determine whether a car's owner has paid for parking and has not parked on a lawn, in addition to its primary function of controlling parking spaces and recording traffic rule violations.
The use of advanced technology for parking control and traffic management is a significant step towards improving the efficiency and safety of city traffic in Moscow. The implementation of the winning solution from the current tender is expected to further enhance these efforts.
Data-and-cloud-computing technology will be utilized in the software provided by bidders for the fourth parking control tender launched by AMPP, as evident from the tender's requirements for remote access and recording violation data for a period of three years. The technology being incorporated aims to improve the efficiency and safety of city traffic in Moscow.
