Partners 41 Eberle Design Inc. (EDI) and CTC have joined forces to link traffic and railroad signals with x-Link.

On demo at the EDI booth x-Link is the only interconnected grade-crossing operations recorder and warning system that incorporates video data of critical train and vehicle movement.

x-Link not only records incidents at railroad crossings, but also monitors railroad and traffic signal timing to ensure safety.

“Out of railroad crossings that experience multiple accidents, 70% are near intersections,” said John Sharkey, vice president, signal design and construction, CTC. “Linking the traffic signals with the railroad signals can save lives.”

    Wrong-way warning systems and advanced queue detection can help to reduce human error. They can also cut road accidents – and therefore road deaths, says Clearview Intelligence Where were nearly 1,800 deaths on the UK’s roads in 2018 – an average of five people dying each day. The largest single cause of serious injury is crashes at junctions (accounting for 33% of incidents), while the largest single cause of death was run-off road crashes (30%) “With vehicles increasingly being designed with saf
