Protecting Level Crossings with cutting edge technology – Game Changing solutions
5. Number of unprotected Level Crossings
● UK, approx. 7 000 unsecured
● Europe = 120 000 unsecured
● USA = 130 000

● World Wide = 1 000 000
(data from UIC)
6. Social costs per year – Accidents & Causalities
o Accidents and causalities per year = Huge Costs
● Europe ≈ 1,4 billion € related to 1246 accidents and 330 casualties

8. Do you think or do you do?
o Common understanding from Railway authorities:
●
●
●
●
●
Someone dear to be first?
Learning from others?
Use novel technology?
Do they have competence in using new technology?
How can the hurdle for new technology approach decrease?
o How many lives will we loose before infrastructure improves?
9. Do you think or do you do?
o What Network Rail did:
We want to be the first
We want to learn
Yes we need new technology
We build new processes to speed up implementation of new
technologies
● Allowed WaveTrain® Systems to use their infrastructure and test
prototypes
●
●
●
●
o We don’t want to loose any more than we do today. Numbers to
be reduced!
10. NR addressing the problem and having programs
o Established a program with the goal of reducing risk
at level crossing with 25% over a period of 4 years
o Searching for new solutions and technology which
help them achieving the goal, with huge reduction in
costs and timeframe
o Quote from CP5 strategy on Level Crossing:
● In CP5 we plan to reduce significantly the risk from the public
misuse at level crossings by upgrading the protection at high risk
locations, extending the programme of work started in CP4. The
prioritisation of the type and timing of enhancements is informed
by a whole life cost model specifically developed to support cost
benefit appraisals for level crossings.
11. How to utilize funds more efficiently

12. Outcome as of date - NR
o Installed 48 level crossing systems based upon new
and novel technology in Anglia Route
o 60 further systems to be delivered to Anglia, Sussex
and Kent Routes
o Framework Call-Off Agreement signed with some
suppliers, enable NR to achieve their goals
o Very positive feedback from users who states:
● “I do feel more secure when having a warning signal and not
only use “Stop, Look and Listen” before crossing
13. Old Method using New Technology
Is the Train
coming?
o Revolutionary and Innovative
solution based upon new
novel technology
● Strongly focused on quality
● Focus on simplicity and
reduced complexity with no
reduction on quality
● Reduce investment and cost
with up to 90-95% from
buying todays systems
Old method, new technology – the new
”Sophisticated Indians”
20. Increased Public Safety, and benefits
o Better warning and protection system gives less
restrictions for train operators, which leads to more
train services
o CCTV cameras can be mounted to prevent incidents on
a higher level
o No cabling gives no reason for theft which give less
reduction of train services
o Connection directly to train operation central can be
done
21. Problem with Cable Theft?
o Our systems
do not
require any
cabling!
No cables …
nothing to
steal!
26. Products & Solutions
o Our advantages and solution set apart from
today’s conventional solutions by:
● No cabling along the rails in each direction from the level
crossing
− Substantial reduced installation time
− Reduced need for maintenance
− Substantial lower cost for the operators, both purchase and
maintenance
● Proactive and not reactive solution, detect trains in
advance
● Multi solution in terms of several possibilities
−
−
−
−
Mobile solution for work purposes along rails and tracks
Vehicles detection (speed, type of vehicle, direction, numbers)
Sending real-time system status information to SLA partner
Part of security level crossing
● High security towards theft and vandalism because of
hidden components
