Development of an Automated System of Light and Sound Warning about the Approach of the Rolling Stock to the Place of Work on the Railway Tracks

The article deals with the problem of ensuring the safety of work on railways based on a software and hardware complex for managing the actions of personnel and drivers of rolling stock. An analysis is being carried out showing the feasibility of using hardware for light and sound warning of the approach of the rolling stock to the place of work on the railway tracks. An automated system has been developed, including: a network of sensors for the proximity of the rolling stock to the work area; means of signaling to warn the work crew; data radio transmission system to the locomotive driver; a system of light and sound warning of the driver about the danger of a collision. Recommendations are proposed for the development of a reliable automated system to improve the safety of work on railways.
