Wabtec’s Wireless Crossing Safety system is designed to improve safety while increasing average train speeds and optimizing crossing-activation times.

Using wireless activation, the system acts as an overlay to existing track circuits and allows crossings to be traversed independent of track circuits. This enables a train to safely pass through a crossing at a speed above the track circuit design in order to maximize average train speed, or to traverse a crossing at a speed below the track circuit design while providing consistent activation time.

Reduction in expensive infrastructure changes

Optimized crossing activation time and minimized crossing activation time for station stops. Changing the design speed for a crossing is expensive and time consuming. Wabtec’s WCA System allows for changes to the crossing design through software updates as opposed to expensive infrastructure changes
