CAP’PRIO System
Priority at traffic light system
Priority at traffic light system for public transport by radio geolocation
For which application ?
Priority command at traffic light for :
- Public transports (bus, BRT…)
The principles
This traffic signal priority system for public transport networks is a fully integrated and supervised solution that operates via radio communication between a geolocated on-board unit inside the vehicle and a ground-based radio device connected to the intersection controller.
These two units – on-board and roadside – make it possible to grant priority at intersections to public transport vehicles, thereby optimising network flow.
The priority request is transmitted by radio to the traffic signal controller as soon as the bus enters the intersection approach zone. Priority is then optimised through real-time monitoring of the bus’s approach and automatic adaptation to changing traffic conditions.
The CAP’PRIO solution consists of :
ON-BOARD UNIT (IGB/ANTENNA)
Throughout the route, the IGB records operational data and transmits it to the server via radio when buses return to the depot. With its integrated GPS, the on-board unit geolocates the vehicle and automatically generates priority requests as it approaches an intersection.
GROUND UNIT
Equipped with a radio module (IGM), it is connected to the intersection controller. It receives priority requests transmitted by the IGB and ensures communication with the traffic lights.

Our references – THE ANNEMASSE PROJECT
Annemasse Agglomeration – 1 BRT line, TANGO line, crossing 2 municipalities: Ville-la-Grand and Annemasse
Principle
The system signals the arrival of a bus identified on the Tango line and notifies the traffic light controller to grant a green light as it passes through the intersection
Needs
- Develop public transport by improving the service quality of the BRT system
- Equip all buses and intersections along the entire Tango line, including 15 intersections fitted with Diaser controllers
Expected results
- Improving Public Transport Service Performance : Optimising bus commercial speed, reducing travel times, and enhancing service regularity
- Enhancing the Attractiveness of the BRT Line : Improving punctuality and increasing bus frequency, providing passengers with a more reliable and smooth experience
