 The fifteen CAF’s Urbos 3 trams for the Portuguese capital city will be equipped with a version of GMV’s Info-Pass system, an integrated information solution combining text, video, and audio information. Totally digital, it offers the features of a classic passenger information system, enhanced with a high-performance video information system. It provides text information on LED displays located throughout the train (front, side, and interior displays), video information on monitors placed in each car, and audio information on the unit’s public address system.

Among the highlights of this system are station arrival detection and the possibility of managing associated content through the different channels. Programmable content can be automatically downloaded from a remote server, in addition to real-time messaging from the control centre. In this way, travellers can see information of interest and advertising content in various formats.

The PA & Intercom public address and intercom system distributed throughout the tram is mainly digital. It will enable management of all audio communications that occur within the train, from automatic travel announcements, public address systems for drivers, control centre or other posts throughout the train; intercoms for passenger-driver emergencies; intercoms between any member of the crew, and playing ambient music.

All these systems will be integrated with the train’s monitoring and control system to receive the necessary information and report their status and alarms.
