Costa Arauco is a central commuter and freight route in Chile, connecting nation’s 2nd largest city of Concepcion to the port of Costa Aruaco.

This 80-mile toll road sees 60,000 AADV and suffers from accidents that cause congestion and hurt toll revenues.

The road operator worked with Valerann to deploy a solution that will help improve safety on the road and help keep traffic flow smooth.

"I cannot imagine a world where I tell my control centre they can no longer use Valerann."
– Control Center Manager, Costa Arauco

Using Lanternn by Valerann, the Costa Aruaco team was able to transform safety on the road. Combining earlier detection and expedited response the team was able to attend and mitigate more risks earlier. The result was an astonishing 34% reduction in incidents with KSIs.

Costa Arauco team together with Valerann deployed Lanternn by Valerann™ into the Costa Arauco control center.

The system integrated with 30 CCTV cameras, patrol vehicles, google maps, data from the toll booths, as well as weather data. The system used machine vision, data fusion and AI to sift through over 20,000 data points a day and surface only the 80 most relevant events to the control center. The alerts were coupled with contextual data and historical video footage for rapid validation.

The combination of prioritized alerting and rapid validation was used to expedite response in an effort to prevent crashes and reduce their impact. As part of the effort, Lanternn also provided ‘light ATMS’ capabilities to enable the operator to log information about incidents and communicate directly with Patrol. This way, when an incident was validated, operators could automate response workflows, directly from LbV.
