CAP’SYSTEM CONNECT
Traffic light priority management and railway command transmission system
For which application ?
- Traffic signal priority
- Switch control and railway signaling
- Tram location/Relocation
- Storage / depot management
The principles
Cap’System Connect is a combination of a supervision software and on-board and ground equipment. It is a hybrid and digitised technology that uses both virtual and physical loops, integrating the following two areas of expertise :
Supervised traffic light priority management
- Secure, real-time bidirectional radio communication to ensure exchanges between rolling stock and traffic light controllers
- Digitisation of detection points (call, station, recalibration, crossing)
- Reduction/elimination of physical loops
- Supervision of network priority performance
- Flexible configuration of the position of various virtual detection points and easy adaptation to parameter changes
- Supervision of all deployed TLS equipment
Transmission of railway signalling commands:
- Switch control and depot management
- Use of physical loops
- Real-time bidirectional digital communication
- Location and relocation
- Supervision of all deployed railway signalling equipment
One on board system for multi-application management : traffic light priority, switch commands, relocation, and depot management… All these functions are manageable thanks to an onboard system.
SURPERVISION & CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE
All performance indicators at a glance
Detailed view by tram or intersection, along with many other features such as supervision of physical loops and vehicle repositioning.
This management software allows for comprehensive system supervision, including:
- Network modelling
- Configuration of priority data
- Monitoring of priority performance and real-time alerts
- Supervision of priority and FIS (Fixed Infrastructure Subsystems) equipment, including alarms
- Reporting and statistics
- Operational support and decision-making assistance
The benefits
- Cost-effective equipment and installation
- Reduction of civil engineering work by 60 to 70%
- Easy replacement of existing equipment
- Simplified maintenance operations
- Scalable system architecture, adaptable to future network developments
- Compatible with both tramway and bus networks

Our references – THE EXAMPLE OF BARCELONA
To modernize the traffic signal priority system for the Barcelona tramway and support the network’s expansion, Cap’System Connect was deployed across the “Trambaix” and “Trambesòs” lines, including:
- 86 intersections
- 36 trams
- 35 km of track
- 85 stops
