MAPS-M Automatic Non-Relay Level-Crossing System

MAPS-M is an automatic level-crossing system without relays.

MAPS-M is a non-relay system designed for non-guarded level-crossings at single- and double-track lines fitted with any type type of train spacing systems. Track sections are controlled via axle counters.

MAPS-M to be placed in MKM Equipment Container Module nearby level-crossing. The Equipment Container ensures MAPS-M climatic requirements and creates comfortable conditions for operating staff. 

Application

  1. Increasing train and car movement safety at level-crossing, safety of pedestrians.
  2. Reduction of time and labour required for level-crossing construction.
  3. Improvement of work environment for maintenance personnel due to embedded diagnostic and event logging.
  4. Depending on level-crossing conditions MAPS-M equipment could be housed in a stationary building, relay cabinet or MKM Equipment Container Module.

Advantages

  • Easy to install, low maintenance system.
  • Advanced diagnostics and event logging.
  • Protected from lightning and switching disturbances.
  • User-friendly interface.

Railway Segments

  • Non-guarded railway level-crossings at single- or double-track sections equipped with train spacing systems of any type.

CCTV at LC

CCTV at railway level-crossings increase safety and ensure visual monitoring the LC area and make appropriate decisions immediatly. Also CCTV helps to receive information about attempts of unauthorized access in a quick way.

  • Increase train traffic safety.

  • Monitoring LC area and LC officer actions.

  • Data archive.
