  • Relation Between Pre-Warning Time and Actual Train Velocity in Automatic Level Crossing Signalling Systems at Level Crossings
    Article citation info: 39 Łukasik J. Relation between pre-warning time and actual train velocity in automatic level crossing signalling systems at level crossings. Diagnostyka. 2021;22(2):39-46. https://doi.org/10.29354/diag/133700 ISSN 1641-6414 DIAGNOSTYKA, 2021, Vol. 22, No. 2 e-ISSN 2449-5220 DOI: 10.29354/diag/133700 RELATION BETWEEN PRE-WARNING TIME AND ACTUAL TRAIN VELOCITY IN AUTOMATIC LEVEL CROSSING SIGNALLING SYSTEMS AT LEVEL CROSSINGS Jerzy ŁUKASIK Silesian University of Technology, Faculty of Transport and Aviation Engineering [email protected] Abstract At level crossings equipped with automatic level crossing signalling devices (which are category B and C crossings in Poland), warning time depends on several factors including the length of what is referred to as the level crossing’s danger zone for road vehicles, and the train velocity. These systems are designed by taking into consideration the maximum train velocity applicable to the given railway line, which is why a train running with a velocity that is lower than the maximum one, e.g. a freight train, produces pre-warning time excess. The pre-warning time excess affects the redundant prolongation of the time when the level crossing is closed for road vehicles. What has been proposed in the article is to reduce the pre-warning time excess by making the pre-warning time depended on the actual train velocity. It describes a structural concept of a solution which should first be implemented in automatic level crossing signalling systems. Owing to adequate assumptions, the concept of the pre-warning time excess reduction exerts no negative effect on safety at level crossings.

  • IRSE Proceedings 1934
    14 PAVER BY MR. C. Vf. PRESCOTT. General Meeting of the Institution HELD AT The Institution of Electrical Engineers Wednesday, 13th December, 1933. The President (Mr. \ 1\f. CHALLIS) in the Chair. The minutes of the last meeting having been read and confirmed, and Mr. R. J. F. Harland, a member present for the first time, presented to the meeting. The President said that they would remember that at the last meeting he appealed to members to send in subjects suitable for papers to be read before the Institution. He was pleased to say that, as a result of that appeal, they had now sufficient for up to the end of 1934. If any gentleman cared to put fonvard a paper, for reading after that date, the Council would be only too pleased to receive it. The President then called upon the Hon. Secretary to read a paper by Mr. C. W. Prescott (Member) " Railway Signalling in Australia" and said that the meeting was very fortunate in having present that evening two or three members who had been associated with railway working in Australia . Railway Signalling in Australia By C. W. PRESCOTT (Member). (Inset Sheets Nos. 1-2). We are told by those who have studied these matters that, so far as geological characteristics, flora and fauna are concerned, Australia is several aeons younger than other parts of the world including Britain and the United States of America. Large tracts of coal have not had time to turn black, some of the animals have not had time to make up their mind to live on land or in the water or to be mammals or the opposite.
