ROBOTIC ASSISTANCE FOR LEVEL TRACK CROSSING, ROAD SAFETY AND TERRORISM CONTROL

摘要

The invention relates to an electronic level track crossing system meant to increase the road traffic safety by electronically controlling the traffic participants and by assisting them upon the level track crossing. According to the invention, the system comprises some devices for surveying the railway tracks, consisting of a relay (4) mounted on the railway track and meant to sense the train passage, of a pressure sensor placed in an area (5) located between the railway tracks and meant to sense the presence of a vehicle in this area and a coil embedded into the bitumen pavement at a distance of 4 m from the railway track, and also microcontroller devices placed at the edge of the railway track, in the train and on the board of a motor vehicles, respectively, the devices communicating wirelessly with one another by means of some radio signal emitters (6, 7) as follows : upon a train passing, the speed of the vehicles approaching the railway track is controlled so as not to exceed 40 km/h, and if the microcontroller (1) located at the edge of the railway track senses the presence of a vehicle in the area (5) between the railway tracks, it commands the microcontrollers in the train to stop the train.
