Railway Crossing Control System

Railway crossing control system is intended to control crossing signaling equipment set, allowing to transmit diagnostics parameters to dispatch level control systems.

• control of automatic crossing signaling equipment status;
• connection to rolling stock passage control system via wire or radio frequency data transmission channel;
• connection to operating crossing signaling system via status poll and relay equipment control;
• connection to modern microprocessor based control systems of higher level (possibilities of traffic control);
• display of system control parameters and haul equipment on indicators.

Upper level is intended for crossing control system connection to traffic control systems. The following sets can be added to the upper level optionally, depending on system configuration:

• crossing duty operator’s AWP;
• upper level system AWP.

Middle level includes object controllers of crossing signaling and equipment set, providing data processing.

At this level logic data processing is carried out by crossing control controller and Frauscher system data processing modules.

Lower level includes trackside assets comprising:

• Frauscher ACS sensors;
• crossing signaling traffic lights;
• crossing signaling alarms (horns);
• automatic barriers (optionally);
• protecting signals (optionally).

Railway crossing control system is autonomous and doesn’t need to be connected to current automatic blocking systems.

The system allows to equip any crossing (guarded or unguarded) regardless the standard equipment installed on it.
