In 2024, VINCI Highways reached an important step in its strategy for innovation by combining artificial intelligence with the data collected by its cameras in order to detect incidents in real time. The aim was to reduce response times and quickly identify pedestrians and vehicles that have stopped in high-risk areas. The system was launched at the centre of excellence for innovation for the Lima Expresa in Peru and has enabled the detection of 95% of incidents in less than five minutes. It is also operational on the R1 expressway Via Pribina in Slovakia.
With the recovery and rise of air traffic, combining measures to ensure meticulous security checks, smooth passenger journeys and cost control is a major challenge. The next generation security areas installed by VINCI Airports at London Gatwick, Edinburgh, Belfast and locations in Japan are, by reducing waiting time at terminals, significantly improving the passenger experience and therefore the appeal of these airports. Thanks to its bespoke security lanes, designed according to VINCI Airports specifications, Belfast International airport can now process around 1,200 passengers per hour. In Japan, the creation of a new security area at Kansai International airport in 2024 created a new record: 98% of passengers complete security checks in under four minutes.
