Level crossing systems
WEGH Group offers different types of system for level crossings, designed and developed according to the level of automation and power supply required, the type of track and the maximum speed of transit of trains on the line. WEGH Group systems are modular in design and can be implemented according to the degree of automation the customer requires.
Systems for the protection of level crossings: barriers and other devices
Our company offers solutions in full compliance with worldwide railway regulations and based on the specifications issued by RFI (Rete Ferroviaria Italiana), an organization internationally recognized for its high safety standards.
The latter are necessary to ensure the safety of both car’s drivers passing over the level crossing and train passengers.
When a train approaches, the level crossing systems receive the closing command from the rail sensors and, at the same time, the road side lights and bells are activated, signalling the imminent closure of the barriers.
As soon as these operations are completed and no alarms are raised, the SIL 4 safety core sets the train side signal to free transit.
The passage of the train on the crossing is monitored by an axle counter system which guarantees to perform the re-open the barriers in less than two seconds, only after the passage of the whole train carriages.
These operations involves a series of delicate steps that require reliable and safe solutions.
Quality and safety are at the core of our mission
With a consolidated Know-how. Wegh Group is manufacturing modular and configurable products, ranging from single safety components to complete systems for level crossing protection. Our company offers complete solutions for the safety protection of the level crossings area for national and suburban railways.
eLCSP SYSTEM (electronic Level Crossing Safety & Protection)
With a consolidated Know-how. Wegh Group is manufacturing modular and configurable products, ranging from single safety components to complete systems for level crossing protection. Our company offers complete solutions for the safety protection of the level crossings area for national and suburban railways.
eLCSP system (electronic Level Crossing Safety & Protection)
To ensure highest safety at level crossings, the WEGH Group has introduced the eLCSP system (acronym for Electronic Level Crossing Safety & Protection). It is an electronic command and control system which, through electronic microcontroller components (PLC, Programmable Logic Controller) in 2 out of 2 configuration, is able to guarantee the safety automation of the closing and reopening sequence of level crossings, managing the barriers machines, luminous-acoustic signal on the road side and luminous signals on the track side. Different scenarios can be configured with minimum hardware changes: a feature that guarantees a high level of flexibility.
eLCSP is supplied already configured for the application chosen by the customer, the relative software modules are in fact factory-preset, taking into account the specificities of the crossing. Furthermore, the eLCSP system does not require special maintenance, as there is a diagnostic system that operates through ad hoc sensors able to predict degradation states and advising the operator about maintenance cycles to perform.
The eLCSP system is certified Railway SIL 4 (Safety Integrity Level), the highest degree of safety integrity, defined as the level of risk reduction guaranteed by a safety function, or specified as a target level of risk reduction. An example of the quality that distinguishes all of our group’s electronic level crossing systems.
