The Wavetrain Level Crossing Warning System (LCWS) is a comprehensive, CENELEC SIL 2 & IEC 61508 certified solution that uses acoustic sensors to detect approaching trains. Mounted directly on the rails, the sensors listen to the unique sound energy emitted by trains. The digital data is processed by a nearby Control Unit, which activates the appropriate warning measures at the correct time. All Wavetrain Systems components are installed at the level crossing, eliminating the need for extensive cabling thus improving track worker safety. This streamlined approach minimizes boots on ballast, reduces maintenance costs and ensures long-term efficiency. By choosing Wavetrain you get an instant upgrade in digital maturity. Our system not only automates your level crossing, it can also record data from all passing rolling stock. By continuously monitoring this data, we can predict infrastructure and rolling stock degradation. These predictions can serve as early indicators of potential system or rolling stock failures enabling proactive repairs. By installing our system, you will increase the reach of available funds to reduce risk at a greater number of unprotected crossings. If you want to capitalize on the advantages offered by digital transformation and enhance the efficiency in existing infrastructure, Wavetrain is the logic choice when upgrading your level crossings.

At ZÖLLNER, our vision is to contribute to safety on track worksites, railway infrastructure, and level crossings worldwide with our products and services.

For more than 75 years, we have been operating as an independent medium-sized company for efficient safety solutions, building expertise in providing cutting-edge technology with high customer orientation.

Our temporary level crossing system TH-BÜP is installed to keep level crossings safe even if the permanently installed system is out of order. The modular system can be flexibly adjusted to all different kinds of crossing situations allowing for the best possible solution. It can be easily and quickly installed to ensure a safe way for rail and road traffic to pass the level crossing.

Our speed detection unit ZGP helps monitor the speed of passing rail vehicles and, if the speed limit is exceeded, initiates a forced brake in order to avoid a dangerous situation.

The latest development, the COBRA (control of balises with remote assistance) system, permits safety personnel to activate switchable Euro balises (ETCS) via remote control to prevent vehicles from entering certain sections of the track.

JR East manages the largest railway infrastructure network in Japan and supports the safe and comfortable travel of about 16 million passengers every day.
Safety is always our top priority. It is our shared rule： “If you sense danger, stop the train!”
In the case of preventing level‑crossing accidents, we have systems to detect danger inside the crossing. If something dangerous happens, users can press an emergency button to alert the train driver. We also use radar sensors that automatically detect danger and notify the driver. With these systems, we work to prevent unfortunate accidents before they happen.
We also share the knowledge and experience we have built in Japan with partners around the world. Through the JR East Paris Office, we share our ideas, introduce our technologies, and provide solutions that match the needs of each partner. Through these efforts, we hope to help raise safety awareness and contribute to safer railways worldwide.
