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
The IG Cap’Prio system is a radio communication system that gives priority to traffic lights for public transport vehicles and thus optimizes the fluidity of the network.
The request for priority is sent by radio to the traffic light controller as soon as the bus enters the approach zone of the intersection. The priority is thus optimised by real-time monitoring of the bus approach and self-adjustment to changing traffic conditions.
The CAP’PRIO solution combines:
On board to ground communication devices
For radio based management of the priority and vehicle location – IGB / IGM-S / antenna
The onboard IGB equipment and the IGM/S ground radio module, which is connected to the traffic light controller, enable priority management by radio.
The IGM/S receives requests for priority issued by the IGB and ensures communication to the traffic light controler. Throughout the journey, the IGB records the operating data and transmits it to the server by radio when the buses return to the depot. Thanks to its integrated GPS, the IGB on-board equipment geolocates the vehicle and generates priority requests automatically when approaching a crossroads.
A software for setting and monitoring the priority at traffic light.
Comprehensive vehicle/server administration and communication tool adapted to the operator’s day-to-day work
