vecom® is a compact vehicle identification and priority system designed to enhance traffic flow for trams and buses by minimizing waiting times and delays. It utilizes inductive communication for vehicle identification, allowing for efficient operations and priority requests at intersections. The vecom®-c and vecom®-ct systems provide improved diagnostics, high reliability, and various configurations to adapt to different transport company needs.
VECOM vehicle identification and priority system
- 1. VECOM®- Compact Vehicle identification and priority
- 2. VECOM® Automatic point changing Smooth traffic flow for trams and buses is an essential A pre-configurable priority request is sent to a traffic requirement for everyone. For passengers, who prefer control device using vehicle identification. This ensures minimal waiting times and other delays. For transport that the switch points are set to the required position companies looking to offer optimal service and automatically and well in advance, allowing for the vehicle efficient operations. VECOM® technology can be a key tool in to continue without any delays. achieving this. Vehicle registration VECOM® is an inductive communication system at the basis The roadside equipment can register the identification of many vehicle stop and central unit functions. VECOM® is details of passing vehicles and the time of passing. This an abbreviation of ‘Vehicle Communications’, referring to function is a highly effective tool for analysing and transparent information exchange between mobile vehicle improving service levels. Furthermore, this function is equipment and stationary equipment along the route. essential to running travel information systems effectively, VECOM® is used to exchange data between vehicle including Compact Bus Stations. equipment and roadside equipment. Vehicle identification Versions is used for priority requests at intersections, automatic or manual points changing, reporting in and out at stops and The VECOM® Compact systems are available in VECOM®-C or vehicle localisation and registration. VECOM®-CT versions and have 2, 4 or 8 loop capability. Priority request VECOM®-C System with full VECOM® functionality and suitable for the Based on vehicle identification, a pre-configurable loop buffer. The loop cable with the 25-pole sub-D plug of priority request is submitted to a traffic control the predecessor can be connected directly to the VECOM®-C installation. With VECOM®, it is possible to add the unit. Parts of the existing BWS systems are used for this vehicle status in comparison to the timetable to this request. configuration, i.e.: This enables using conditional priority, meaning that the vehicle is given priority only if that is necessary. Loop cable; Loop Distribution Panel / Wide Style (LDP/WS); Loop buffer MK2.
- 3. VECOM®-CT The option to combine two loops offers the following In the VECOM® Compact Transceiver version of VECOM®-C, benefits: the full new functionality of the new VECOM® as described The driving direction can be detected with the will be available. Currently, the existing parts as described combined loops; under VECOM®-C are obsolete and the following extra parts The two overlapping 8-shaped loops can are required: prevent double detections. The entire VECOM® function, including the type VECOM®-C Loop cable; radio link modulation, is configurable. This gives VECOM®-C LDP (Loop Distribution Panel); greater flexibility and enables completely adjusting VECOM®-C Transceiver. the function without any changes to the hardware; VECOM®-C Features All software, including modulation and filtering algorithms, can be downloaded via the serial port. VECOM®-Compact is the latest generation of VECOM® roadside systems with the following properties: Further benefits in combination with the “Loop Transceiver” (VECOM®-CT) are: Limited footprint thanks to 3 compact 3 HE modules; An RS485 serial channel for connecting to an Improved diagnostics (including detection of a dead intelligent roadside system or to a central system via the loop); CVU protocol or via the VETAG serial protocol; Improved insensitivity to EM noise, which allows the An extra RS485 serial channel for controlling the digital unit to better handle environments with a high level entrances and exits or an extra connection to a central of EM noise (including Light Rail); system; Longer “feeder” cables possible (up to 800 m An RS232 serial channel for diagnostics, configuration between the loop and VECOM®-CT unit). and downloading software; Extensive parallel input and output possibilities; From and to passing vehicles; From and to linked central systems; Extensive, configurable 19 bit VETAG code conversion. Benefits VECOM®-C offers a number of specific benefits, making VECOM®-C an ideal and cost-effective choice: Highly reliable data communication; Simple system with many extension options without capital destruction; Easy to install communication loops (without regulation); State-of-the art technology; Improved diagnostics and less sensitivity to noise; Larger distance between loop and VECOM®-C unit possible;

Power supply AC 176 VAC < U < 253 VAC / 50Hz / 1A. DC 22,8 VDC < U < 25,2 VDC / 1,3A (For integration into other equipment, the VECOM®-C system can also be connected to an external 24 VDC inlet). Interfaces 3 Communication RS232 (service channel) and 2 x RS485 compatible. 1200, 9600 or 19200 bps half channel duplex, VCU protocol (in accordance with ISO1745) or VETAG serial output. The second RS485 channel can be used for controlling parallel inputs and outputs or to connect an additional central system. Please note: A distance up to 1 km is possible by adding a SERIO module. Synchronisation Via the synchronisation interface, the VECOM®-C can be synchronised with the interface of other VECOM® systems. Parallel inputs and A maximum of 4 x I/O 1609 modules can be connected on the VECOM®-C units. This outputs allows for making a large number of inputs and outputs available. The Relais contacts are at 1 kVDC isolation voltage. Contact current 0.5 mA < I < 100 mA, Contact tension 3.0 V < U < 50 V. Diagnostics By means of LED’s and via the service channel (RS232).
