Smart CitiesINFRA S.A. (formerly EPL - Empresa de Planejamento e Logística) faced the challenge of enhancing interurban mobility for people and goods across Brazil in an efficient and sustainable way. By implementing Smart Steps and leveraging mobile data analysis, INFRA aimed to optimize national transportation planning, increasing the use of railways and high-capacity transport modes to reduce both travel times and freight costs. This initiative, part of the National Logistics Plan 2035 (PNL 2035), enabled the generation of Origin-Destination (O/D) matrices based on real data, significantly improving the accuracy of planning decisions. With this technology, INFRA has successfully reduced transportation costs and CO2 emissions while achieving significant improvements in the safety and accessibility of Brazil’s transportation system.
We tell you about the project
Highlights of the success story
Reduction in interurban transportation costs
Through the implementation of Smart Steps and Big Data, INFRA has achieved a 17% to 39% reduction in average interurban freight transportation costs. This was made possible by optimizing the use of existing infrastructure and improving route planning with precise, real-time data.
Improvements in road safety and accessibility
INFRA has enhanced road safety by 9% through more accurate traffic flow monitoring and the identification of travel patterns, enabling preventative interventions on high-risk routes. Additionally, the project has achieved up to a 12% reduction in average interurban travel times.
Reduction in CO2 emissions
The project has contributed to up to a 14% reduction in CO2 emissions related to interurban transportation by increasing transport efficiency and promoting the use of more sustainable modes of transport, such as rail and other high-capacity options.
Boost to National Economic Growth
The initiative has driven Brazil's GDP growth by 6% to 11%, thanks to improvements in infrastructure and transportation efficiency.
