What is being bought
This contract is to enable the installation and support for a new NI motorway control instation system to replace the current end-of-life platform. The contract will incorporate the licensing of National Highways' CHARM solution and a contract for implementation, configuration, and ongoing support. This approach ensures business continuity ahead of the expiry of the existing contract and enables the continued operation of safety critical motorway functions such as VMS, lane control, and MIDAS. The contract facilitates the transition to IP based communications and supports the deployment of future technologies, including C-ITS and connected and autonomous vehicles.
