Crossroad Priority Request (CPR)
Tram and Light Rail Safety System
The CPR system grants trams priority at intersections, enhancing safety and efficiency. It triggers alarms for approaching trams and communicates with trackside detectors to confirm priority requests, minimizing delays and streamlining urban mobility.
As urban areas expand and traffic becomes more congested, maintaining efficient and safe tram operations is essential. The Crossroad Priority Request System (CPR) provides a solution by prioritizing trams at intersections, ensuring smooth transit flow and increased safety. Utilizing an onboard ATP MOL 81 RFID reader and a trackside DMOL 81 detector, the system communicates with traffic controllers to grant or deny tram passage. This cost-effective and weather-resistant system integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructure. With precise detection and compliance with European standards, CPR enhances both operational security and the reliability of tram systems in busy city environments.
Solution benefits:
- Sustainable Reliability: The system offers long-term cost-effectiveness, ensuring reliable operation throughout its lifecycle.
- Dual Functionality: It enables both tram priority requests and precise location tracking at stations, enhancing operational efficiency.
- Resilient Design: Built to withstand the mechanical stress of heavy trams, the trackside components ensure accurate and dependable performance without false detections.
- Simplicity and Compatibility: The system integrates effortlessly with existing infrastructure through standard digital outputs, requiring no additional signal processing.
- All-Weather Performance: Designed to operate flawlessly in diverse weather conditions, ensuring uninterrupted functionality when needed most.
