Wabtec’s Wireless Crossing Safety system is designed to improve safety while increasing average train speeds and optimizing crossing-activation times.
Using wireless activation, the system acts as an overlay to existing track circuits and allows crossings to be traversed independent of track circuits. This enables a train to safely pass through a crossing at a speed above the track circuit design in order to maximize average train speed, or to traverse a crossing at a speed below the track circuit design while providing consistent activation time.
