Problem definition
The goal is to solve the problem of
warning to drivers in advance
to take precautions when they are
approaching a level crossing
Avoid accidents due to the
occupancy level crossing for
vehicles that have been stopped
on the railroad
CLASS A Protected level crossings exclusively with fixed signals.
CLASS B Protected level crossings with light and acoustic signals. (S.L.A).
CLASS C Protected level crossings with half-barriers, double half-barriers or
barriers, Automatic or Nailed (S.B.E., S.B.A. or S.B.E./S.B.A.).
CLASS D Protected level crossings in Luggage Regime (Chains or Barriers or
manual half-barriers).
CLASS E Protected level crossings daycare walk Paso.
CLASS F Step by exclusive level or Pedestrian and Livestock.

Distribution of accidents in LC
Focus on warning
Most effective is replace LC, but it is expensive, so
• Signaling its location on the road by traffic signals in a passive way.
• Closing by detecting the proximity of a train by an active way.
Goals
Notify drivers a nearby Level Crossing.
Notify to Infrastructure Managers about the interception of a
Level Crossing by a vehicle when the driver indicates incidents.
Notify to Infrastructure Managers about the interception of the track,
at any point, by a vehicle when the driver indicates incidents.
Improve road and railways safety,
reducing level crossing accident impact
System design
Solution based on geolocation in real time of all parts of the system
and notifications to drivers and infrastructure managers,
not to replace actual systems
● Level Crossing facilities, regardless of type.
● Vehicles.
● Trains.
● Infrastructure managers.
System design
Taken advantage that connected car concept begins to take shape
in all countries
Collects real-time information
Central intelligent cloud
Returns information and events
System design
Actual system developed for Dirección General de Tráfico
collects real time information about:
Position
Speed
Vehicle type
Computes driver risk and return
Real time audio an text notifications

Too much error we need
reduce it to less than 5m
LC application

GPS accuracy on board better than 5m at 120 km/h
LC application
1024x500.jpg
Two kind of notifications
Vehicle
notifications are sent based
on the vehicle speed,
specifying the name of
the road and where KP
is located

Infrastructure Manager
The position of vehicles is
computed in real time,
and if its driver declares an
incident, the system is able
to identify if he is located
within the Level Crossing

Next steps
Improve LC location accuracy
Include train location in evaluation process
Involve Infrastructure Managers for a complete integration with their
Information Systems
Improve the publication of open data about railways
Spread out the system to vehicle on board
Spread out the system to other countries
Thank you and improve
railways and road safety
