System for securing of safety of railroad crossing against vehicle entry during warning signaling

Abstract

According the application of the invention when barriers are lowered, first are lowered barrier in front rails after, in adjustable time delay, that barrier behind rails, what allow to vehicles clear out rail area. Sensor advantageously senses area on rails and in case of any obstruction for railway train delays lowering of barriers or stops it till the time when obstruction leaves rails. In the same time it transmits alarm into dispatching of train transport and into coming railway train by means of wireless connection. It simultaneously activates alarm siren and advantageously voice announcement calling for releasing of rails.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The invention relates to the system for securing of safety of railroad crossing against vehicle entry during warning signaling, especially to the device for railroad crossing security.BACKGROUND ART[0002]According to the existing state of the art, systems for securing of safety of railroad crossing don't deal with obstacles in any way, e.g. a vehicle which can get stuck in between the barriers and therefore, stuck on the tracks, it may cause an accident, a collision with passing train. All the barriers are lowered simultaneously, so that vehicles which enter the crossing after lowering of barriers cannot leave the crossing, as the exit is blocked by the barriers behind the tracks. Even though barriers are designed to allow vehicles to drive violently through, some drivers get dissuaded psychologically and leave their vehicles on the railway tracks, causing an accident. Train-driver has no information about such unexpected obstacle, noticing it visually only, whi...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a system for transmitting data to a server and to other participants, such as a control center and train, using internet connections. The system includes communication modules and sensors to detect obstacles and trains. The system also includes cameras placed in front of the barriers to capture live footage of passing trains and prevent drivers from entering the barriers while the alarm is active. The distance of the approaching train to the crossing can also be displayed. The system can communicate with each other and with a server through a duplex communication. The device can also have security sensors and cameras to protect against theft and to address a thief in time of action.

Problems solved by technology

Even though barriers are designed to allow vehicles to drive violently through, some drivers get dissuaded psychologically and leave their vehicles on the railway tracks, causing an accident.

Train-driver has no information about such unexpected obstacle, noticing it visually only, which often means noticing it too late to prevent the accident.
