Automatic continuous control of train's speed, with automatic urgent braking.
- Depot or yard management (part of operating system).
- Detection at crossings.
- Detection of passage.
- Train configuration: Automatic adjustment of washing facilities according to guage and length of trains, automatic flow adjustment at depot's petrol station.
- Control of correct vehicle position before being authorised to open the doors (platform screen doors, assistance equipment for disabled access).
- Adjustments of vehicle's step height according quay's height.
- Coaches / wagons identification (AVI Automatic Vehicle Identification)
