Depends upon the speed.
I assume anything above 120 mph they do not allow grade crossings.
I believe the crossings where they have "foul detection" are in England.
-
You are making a lot of bad assumptions. Perhaps you should research before you post things.
High speed heavy rail doesn't work the way you state as far as highway crossing protection is concerned.
-
Yes. I assume much more notice is needed for the train to stop in time, so the crossing unfortunately closes even longer before train arrival.
I believe it is merely a wayside signal which the engineer sees.
-
I was refering to your one minute issue. At a higher speed the engineer is going to need far more notice. Crossing gates and their timing won't factorinto this.
In today's North American heavy rail environment I really don't know what you're talking about on the high speed crossings.
So you are saying that if the gate is closed a minute ahead of a 60mph freight...these crossings send a signal to the engineer that "something" is on the track? Wouldn't it need about 4 minutes or so?
-
If an obstruction is on the track or in foul of the track, and cannot be removed enough, they should contact the railroad and slow and stop any train before that crossing.
I recall that some high speed train crossings close the crossing in time to detect any obstructions remaining in the crossing.
If there is something in the crossing, the train gets a signal in time to slow to a stop.
-
Don't be ridiculous.
IF the crossing is not clear the railroad would need to know in time so they could slow and hopefully stop?
So if someone is on the crossing one mile in front of a 60 mph train...the engineer should put his train into emergency so he could stop?
Tell me that's not what you're saying. LOL
the report says that an express train pushed the car away and stopped about 200 meters ahead of the crossing. a 74-year-old driver was killed.

I'm sorry.
I cannot translate it well.

In the UK they're trialling an object detector at crossings. It's linked to the signals so if it picks up some no-brainer trying to cross while the gates are down it'll give the train driver a nice shock by returning the signal protecting the crossing to red.

There is the device which tells Japan about immediate を for a train.
However, there is not the impossible effect for having crossed it just before that.

このリレーつばめは平常運転だったのかな?

「平常運転」とは?
事故後は「運転見合わせ」でしょうね。
事故前にダイヤが乱れていたとしても「踏み切り」が正常に動作していたら、「いつもの時間に来ないから=直前横断」の理由にはなりません。
