Unified traffic control system for railway and road vehicles using mobile phone line

Abstract

The railway crossing control system that sounds alarm and closes crossing gates by sending the signal to the controller from the center server calculating the fastest time of the railway vehicle to reach the crossing has been produced. The self-localization of the vehicle is done receiving GNSS signals and obtained information is transmitted to the center server using LTE cell phone line. Taking advantage of versatility of LTE line, the unified control system for railway crossings and traffic signals on road are proposed. The performance of the proposed system is shown through the experiments carried out at the experimental field inside the campus of the university.
