Definitions

  • the invention relates to a warning system for crossings, such as railway crossings, said warning system comprising a sound generator and a light generator which, when the crossing is passed by a vehicle, such as a train, emit a sound signal and a light signal, wherein the strength of the sound signal is controlled on the basis of the strength of the ambient noise detected from a microphone.
  • the sound signal which is also to operate properly in the daytime, may have such a strength that it can be a nuisance to persons who are present in e.g. dwellings which are located close to the warning system, when the ambient noise is low.
  • the master post or posts are coupled electrically to a central safety system, which contains power supplies and coupled sensors, which detect trains that approach the crossing.
  • the numeral 1 designates a master post which is electrically connected to two slave posts 2, 3 via conductors 4, 5, 6 and 7, which are passed out through a lowermost unit 21, in the master post. Further, the master post 1 is electrically connected to a safety system 10 via conductors 8, 9.
