The system to be installed by Telvent is based on selective light rail detection, which will enable the system to determine whenever the light rail is approaching an intersection. Once detected, the system will give priority to the light rail over private transportation.
Specifically, Telvent will develop and start up the priority system, in addition to the traffic regulators and the LED-type technology-based road signalling systems. It is claimed that this technology contributes to obtaining energy savings of up to 70 per cent with respect to the costs generated by current technology.
