Level Crossings
Level Crossings are a critical interface between the railway and the public, requiring regular maintenance & testing to ensure safety and legislative compliance and represent an increasing risk where levels of rail & road traffic are far higher than originally expected. Despite regular publicity campaigns, crossing violation and misuse is a common problem in many parts of the world and Level Crossings are frequently damaged by road vehicles putting safety at risk. CDSRail have a long history in monitoring & recording the performance of Level Crossing equipment to enable proactive maintenance and reduce test times when investigating incidents and allegations.
CDSRail Level Crossing monitoring solutions include basic event recording systems producing a chronological log of the status of all controls & indications associated with the crossing protection system. An advanced version also monitors analogue parameters from the track circuits and road barriers and has server software tools to analyse data from every crossing operation and continuously test & analyse performance against user defined sequence & timing parameters.
