Based on Radio communication, Microprocessors and Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, the Anti-Collision devices at Level Crossing Gates and on board Locomotives can apply brakes and/or alarm the crew of the Train to apply brakes in time, in case the Gate is open to road traffic or the track area is obstructed by any vehicle.
Necessity
Unacceptable (or INTOLERABLE Region) Risk cannot be justified except in extraordinary circumstances
RISK
Tolerable only if risk reduction is impractical or if cost grossly disproportionate to improvement gained
Necessity
European approach to public safety and safety in the workplace as set out in the Framework Directive of the European Union (89/391/EEC). This states that safety is an objective which should not be subordinated to purely economic considerations.

System Benefits It does not require any inputs to be fed by the crew at
the start of journey, thus human error is eliminated. Very economical and cost effective Easily adaptable and expandable Does not degrade the existing safety level Employs state-of-art hardware and software technology No way side equipment required, hence no requirement of Power No cabling on the track required (which is more expensive and cumbersome)
