Abstract :
In the current railway systems, it is becoming more necessary to have safety elements in order to avoid accidents. One of the causes that can provoke serious accidents is the existence of obstacles in railways, either fixed or mobiles. In this work, a multisensorial system is proposed in order to inform the monitoring system of the existence of obstacle. The use of different sensors for the same task is justified by the high degree of reliability needed in these environments, where the safety is fundamental.
