摘要:
A traffic control system (100) includes a railroad crossing control system (10) with a constant warning time device (40), a wheel sensing system (120) with a sensor (122) connected to a rail (20a, 20b) of a railroad track (20) at a predetermined position (P), and a communication network (140) interfacing with the railroad crossing control system (10) and the wheel sensing system (120) and adapted to transmit data. The wheel sensing system (120) provides speed values of a rail vehicle travelling on the railroad track (20), wherein the speed values are transmitted to the railroad crossing control system (10) via the communication network (140) for producing a preemption signal for the traffic signal control system (110). Further, a method for providing a preemption signal for a traffic signal control system (110) is described.

A system includes a base station associated with a railroad crossing having a unique identifier and comprising at least one processor to wirelessly transmit a proximity alert, determine that a train is on approach, and wirelessly transmit a train-on-approach notification. The system further includes a receiver comprising at least one processor to wirelessly receive the proximity alert and the train-on-approach notification from the base station and to provide at least one of a visual and audible indication responsive to at least one of the proximity alert and the train-on-approach notification.

A railroad wayside signal cantilever (10) including an arm (22) with a signal mounting apparatus (28) that provides a degree of horizontal movement of the signal (26) relative to the cantilever mast (12). The available range of locations for securing the signal on the arm is sufficiently broad to allow a single cantilever design to be used for a wide range of site-specific locations. An extendable catwalk railing (54) is provided to accommodate movement of the signal without creating an unsafe gap between the railing and the signal.

An adjustable mirror mount system for a mirror is disclosed comprising a mirror support having a planar surface thereon, a mirror frame containing a mirror and having a planar surface behind the mirror facing the planar surface of the mirror support and parallel to the reflecting surface of the mirror and mounted pivotally to the mirror support at a point central to the frame, a first adjustment means between the mirror support and the mirror frame spaced from the central pivot mount for adjusting the movement of the mirror along one axis lying in the plane of the planar surface of the mirror frame; and a second adjustment means between the mirror support and the mirror frame spaced from the central pivot mount for adjusting the movement of the mirror along a second axis lying in the plane of the planar surface of the mirror frame and perpendicular to the first axis.
摘要:
A traffic crossing signal mast for railroad-highway grade crossings incorporates a sturdy cantilever arm extending over the highway and supporting a maintenance catwalk. A short, horizontal jury mast at the end of the cantilever arm is pivotable about its axis parallel to the highway direction through limited angular sectors of one-quarter turn clockwise and counterclockwise. A junction box assembly mounted at each end of the jury mast suspends a pair of warning flasher crossing signal lamps on each side of the catwalk aimed down the highway axis. Pivoting movement of the jury mast from its locked, detent position to a latched quarter-turned position raises one of each pair of signal lamps for initial cable connections, repairs or replacement of flashing lamp heads. A lockable clamping cam lever disengages the detent for jury mast rotation and re-engages it to secure the signal lamps in their aligned position for use. A novel catwalk-and-frame assembly is provided for ease of fabrication, incorporating aluminium chord extrusion frame members with integral concave ledges for supporting catwalk panels of expanded metal or perforated plates.

CONTROL ARRANGEMENT, ESPECIALLY FOR THE REMOTE CONTROL OF SWITCHES AND THE LIKE FOR MODEL RAILRODS IN WHICH AN ARMATURE IS CONNECTED TO THE ELEMENT TO BE MOVED AND HAS TWO ACTUATING COILS ASSOCIATED THEREWITH WHILE A REMOTE UNIT CONNECTED TO THE COILS HAS A MANUAL SWITCH CONNECTED TO EACH COIL. A FURTHER SWITCH SERIES WITH EACH COIL IS OPERATED INTO OPEN POSITION WHEN THE ARMATURE MOVES INTO THE END POSITION PERTAINING TO THE RESPECTIVE COIL WHILE AN INDICAING LAMP IN SERIES WITH EACH COIL AND THE LAST MENTIONED SWITCH IS ARRANGED ADJACENT THE MANUAL SWITCH PERTAINING TO THE OTHER COIL.
