As the intersection node of railroad and highway, railroad crossing carries the busy traffic circulation task, and its safety condition is directly related to the order of traffic and public safety.

However, in the face of increasing traffic flow, complex crossing environment and potential safety hazards, the traditional crossing management mode has been unable to meet the demand for modern railroad safety management refinement. How to use scientific and technological means to effectively prevent crossing safety accidents, enhance the efficiency of crossing operation and maintenance, the industry urgently needs to solve the problem.

A railroad crossing in Shanghai, located in the busy transportation line, because it involves the collaboration of many departments, many types of transportation intersection, coupled with the train running speed increase, the number of motor vehicles surge, crossing personnel and vehicle safety pressure is increasing day by day. To cope with this challenge, the management of the crossing decided to join hands with Woxu to introduce advanced UWB high-precision personnel positioning system in an attempt to realize the precise supervision of the staff at the crossing and ensure the safe, efficient and orderly operation of the crossing.

Pain point analysis

● Difficulty of personnel supervision: there are many staff on duty at the crossing, their duties are scattered, traditional supervision means are difficult to accurately grasp the real-time location and working status of the staff, and they are prone to the phenomenon of being off-duty and leaving the post, which increases the safety risk.

● Low emergency response efficiency: the lack of immediate warning and dispatch mechanism when the train is approaching may lead to a lag in the response of the inspection personnel, affecting the timeliness of the closure of the crossing and safety inspection.

● Difficulty in tracing inspection records: lack of effective records on the time of duty personnel entering and leaving the duty room, inspection routes and historical trajectories, which is not conducive to after-action analysis and responsibility tracing.

Solution

Aiming at the challenges of personnel supervision, emergency response and inspection record traceability faced by a railroad crossing in Shanghai, Woxu proposes a solution based on UWB high-precision personnel positioning technology, which integrates hardware equipment, software platform and customized functions to realize all-round, intelligent and visualized management of the personnel at the crossing. By deploying positioning anchors in key areas of the crossing to ensure full signal coverage, it provides infrastructure support for high-precision positioning. Durable and low-power UWB cards and wristbands are equipped with positioning tags for duty personnel to ensure stable transmission of location information around the clock.

Focusing on the core advantages of UWB positioning technology and combining hardware, intelligent software platform and multi-system linkage, the program has successfully created a technology-driven, accurate and efficient system for supervising and managing emergency situations at railroad crossings, which strongly protects the safe operation of crossings and the safety of public transportation.

Key Features

● Real-time positioning and intelligent alarm: real-time monitoring of personnel location, accurate identification of abnormal behavior and triggering of alarms, integrated train dispatching information, sound and light alarms to prompt timely inspection.

● Intelligent management of electronic fences: set up electronic fences in key control areas, real-time monitoring of whether on-duty inspectors arrive at the location on time and on schedule, and the fence status is automatically adjusted with the train approaching.

● Inspection Record Automation: Automatically track and record the time of personnel entering and exiting the duty room and the track of the inspection process, combined with the video surveillance data, to generate duty inspection reports for query and responsibility tracing.

● Emergency Response Optimization: Real-time display of the location of the duty inspection personnel, when an accident occurs, you can quickly call for help through the location tag SOS to enhance rescue efficiency.

Value Summary

The successful application of Woxu's UWB high-precision personnel positioning system at this railroad crossing not only solves the personnel supervision problem and significantly improves the safety prevention and control ability of the crossing, but also optimizes the crossing operation and safety guarantee through accurate dispatching and efficient emergency response.

This system, with its high-precision positioning, intelligent management and multi-system linkage, provides a solid technical guarantee for the safety of railroad crossings, and sets a new benchmark of intelligent safety control for the industry. Woxu empowers the safety management of railroad crossings with the power of science and technology, helping railroad crossings to serve the modern transportation system more efficiently under the premise of ensuring safety and escorting the smooth operation of the urban transportation vein.
