Abstract:
Controlling a level crossing includes one or more transceivers located in proximity of a level crossing area on a first side of a railway track; corresponding passive reflective targets located in proximity of the level crossing area on a second side of the railway track opposite to the first side where each transceiver is located and a control unit connected to each transceiver. Each target is arranged to receive RF signals coming from each transceiver and to send back corresponding reflected signals. Each transceiver is arranged to elaborate said reflected signals to calculate predetermined parameters values. Also, the control unit is arranged to acquire said parameters values from each transceiver and to elaborate them to detect the presence of a train in an area around the level crossing area and, in case of presence of said train, to send a warning message and/or close bars of the level crossing.

Claim (Index 16):
A method for controlling a level crossing comprising the steps of:\n providing a system for controlling a level crossing according to any of the preceding claims in correspondence of a level crossing between a railway track and a road; sending a respective RF signal from each transceiver towards both targets; receiving at each transceiver respective reflected signals coming from each target; elaborating these signals so as to calculate predetermined parameters values; sending back said parameters values to the control unit; comparing these parameter values with predefined thresholds to identify the presence of a train on the railway track in an area surrounding the level crossing area; and sending at least one of a warning message and closing bars of the level crossing in case the comparison of the previous step identifies the presence of said train.
