Abstract
EN: Th e analysis of accidents at level crossings showed that a signifi cant number of them have been occurred at the
automatic crossings with signalling lights and automatic half barrier crossings. One of the main causes of accidents
is that road users do not obey the warning signals at crossings due to excessive waiting time because real speeds
of diff erent trains can vary greatly, while approach distance to crossings is determined for the fastest trains with
maximum permissible speed. Th e purpose of this work is the mathematical justifi cation of the method for the level
crossing activation time prediction in dependence on the real speed of an approaching train, based on measurements
of input track circuits’ impedance at approach section. Th e investigations have been carried out by mathematical
modeling of track circuits’ operation modes during train movement. Th e relative error of the method has been
determined.
