Signalling - Comprehensive railway signalling and control solutions:
We develop comprehensive state-of-the-art solutions, covering the field of infrastructures, on-board equipment and control posts in general purpose lines and urban areas.
- AURIGA: ETCS level 1 and 2 & ATO. Integral solution for the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) and Automatic Train Operation (ATO), both for the infrastructure part and for the on-board systems in vehicles. AURIGA guarantees high performance ERTMS solutions for both Level 1 (AURIGA L1) and Level 2 (AURIGA L2) and also mixed systems in which both levels coexist, ensuring interoperability. It brings significant operational and maintenance benefits.
- OPTIO is CAF's CBTC system that includes ATP (Automatic Train Protection), ATO (Automatic Train Operation) and ATS (Automatic Train Supervision), in accordance with the IEEE 1474 and IEC 62290 standards.
- QUASAR Q4: Electronic interlockings. QUASAR Q4 is the basis of CAF's signalling solutions. A pioneer in the application of EN-50126 and other derived standards, the QUASAR Q4 electronic interlocking has evolved to support new functionalities and compatibility with ERTMS systems.
- NAOS: Integrated control centres. NAOS has been specifically developed for the integrated and multifunctional control centres required by today's control, command and signalling systems for railway infrastructures.
Services - Optimal rail availability:
CAF's maintenance and after-sales activities aim to maximise reliability, availability, maintainability and safety values throughout the fleet's lifecycle.
- Intelligent maintenance: CAF employs the most innovative digital maintenance and optimisation technologies to maximise service parameters and reduce lifecycle costs.
- Spare parts and component overhaul: CAF manages the supply of spare parts and components with a focus on operational improvement of maintenance activities in order to ensure optimal availability.
