5. Résumé

4. 1. The Challenge!

5. Number of unprotected Level Crossings
● Europa = 120 000 unsecured
and or exposed, level crossings
● USA = 130 000
● Asia = 300 000
● Africa = 200 000
● South America = 150 000
● Australia = 100 000
● World Wide = 1 000 000
(data from UIC)

6. ILCAD statistics
o Some figures on level crossings:
● Estimations: 1 million LX in the world, millions of near misses and
over 6000 fatalities
● According to the World Health Organisation traffic accidents cost
between 1 to 2% (in high income countries) of the Gross National
Product according to the country.
● Consolidated figures in the 27 countries in the EU:
− 123 000 level crossings in 2010
− 619 accidents in 2010 (831 in 2009)
− 359 fatalities in 2010 (405 in 2009)
● Fatalities at level crossings represent 30% of all rail fatalities in
the EU, 1.2% of all road fatalities in the EU

7. Social costs per year - Accidents
o Accidents and deaths per year = Social Cost for the society
each year :
● Europe ≈ 1,4 billion € related to 1246 accidents and 330 casualties

8. Nothing can stop Evolution!
o Introducing new technology might be “painful”

9. New Technology
o Introducing new technology for the railway authorities:
● Biggest hurdle is learning from each other across borders
● Are the industry eager to use new novel technology? Yes
● Do the industry have competence in using new technology? Some
● How can the hurdle for new technology approach decrease?
Infrastructure owners must permit access for Trial and test projects
o Do we need new technology?
● Demands for new technology? Most infrastructure is older than 30 years
● Today’s society cost regarding accidents, is this important? Yes!
o How many lives will we loose before infrastructure improves?
One is one to many, We want to act now!

10. Conventional solutions and suppliers
o Suppliers:
● Bombardier
● Siemens
● Thales
● Alstom
● GE
● and counting….
o Conventional solutions and “try-outs”:
● Electrical signalling
● Ordinary conventional solutions
● Axel counter systems used for detecting trains
● IR signals
● Devices on-board trains
● Action taken by train drivers

11. Client’s Saving potential with WTS LCWS
o Clients we currently are working with (numbers in 1000€):
0
500,000
1,000,000
1,500,000
2,000,000
2,500,000
3,000,000
3,500,000
4,000,000
4,500,000
5,000,000
Conventional systems WTS LCWS Savings
Client 1 = 3400
Client 2 = 7000
Client 3 = 5000
Client 4 = 3800
Client 5 = 2500

12. 2. Game Changing Solution

13. Old Method using New Technology
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
down to 5-10% of todays
investment and maintenance
costs
Old method, new technology – the new
”Sophisticated Indians”
Is the Train
coming?

14. WTS Level Crossing Warning System (LCWS)

15. WTS Level Crossing Warning System (LCWS)

16. WTS Mobile Train Detection System (MTDS)

17. Problem with Cable Theft?
o Our systems
do not
require any
cabling!
No cables …
nothing to
steal!

18. Implication on existing infrastructure
o No implication on existing infrastructure because:
● No connection with Existing Level Crossing materials
● No damage to Rail profile used on Installation point
● No connection to Existing Signalling Systems
● No interference with Train Communication Systems
● No interference with existing Radio or Infrared Signals
● Total ElectroMagnetic Compatibility separation (EMC)
● No connection or interference with Existing High- or Low Voltage Power
Supply
● Only visible point to the public is a new warning signal light, sound or
barriers
● However, if client want to connect to existing signalling
systems or existing Level Crossing materials = This can easily
be done!

19. Maths is not everything
Try to convince a Scientist of this….maths or not..
