Abstract :
At present, there are a variety of measures that are being taken in the face of the lengthening of level crossing closure times, but since these all rely on the intermittent detection of the location and speed of the train, they have not yet shown sufficient effectiveness. Against this backdrop, we will show in our simulation the use of inductive wires to continuously detect the location of the train, while also outlining the crossing warning time control system, and how the application of this system, as shown in our simulation, results in the effective delay of warning start times depending on the running of the train.
