The simultaneous viewing of different applications on the same panel, display of the Centralised Traffic Control (C.T.C.) in the Madrid Suburban Office, CCTV cameras installed in stations of the Office and other applications.



What improvements has the new design in the functionality of the Centre signified?

In addition to its modernization, thanks to the multi-functionality of the new panel, it is possible to visualize any application of those that are used in the CIC to manage the resources necessary and be able to provide a Suburban Service of the quality required.
