CAF has launched its advanced CBTC solution called OPTIO that completes its portfolio of railway signalling solutions, offering an efficient, sustainable and ultra-high performance and capacity solution for the cities of the future.
OPTIO has been conceived and developed as a flexible and scalable solution, ideal to satisfy all types of operations in face of the growing demand for mobility in dense urban environments. Its advanced technology enables real-time and accurate management of rail operations, maximising passenger flow and optimising operational efficiency.
Thanks to its automatic driving capabilities, the system can reduce energy consumption by more than 20%, contributing to a more sustainable transport system aligned with emission reduction and environmental efficiency goals.
Unlike classic signalling systems, the new solution can determine the exact position of each train on the line thanks to its state-of-the-art on-board control units and orchestrating the movement of all trains, significantly increasing the transport capacity of the lines. This translates into a safer, more coordinated and reliable rail service, thus improving the passenger experience.
The advanced CBTC solution meets the strictest safety standards in the industry and complies with international IEEE1474 and IEC62290 standards. It has been developed to be easily integrated into all types of infrastructures, responding both to the specificities of local administrations and to global railway safety and operating regulations. This allows the solution to be deployed both on newly built lines and on existing lines that require higher capacities and performance.
With its OPTIO CBTC technology, CAF reinforces its role as a leading player in the transformation of urban transport and the development of more connected and environmentally friendly cities. With the incorporation of this CBTC system, CAF includes a high-performance system aimed at improving the operations of metropolitan lines and positions CAF as a global supplier that offers complete solutions for a more efficient and sustainable mobility of the future in its portfolio of solutions.
The company presented the OPTIO technology in Europe and America in the last quarter of the year.
