Automated rail way crossing

A device for monitoring the passage of a train traveling through a railway crossing, said device comprising:

• first and second sensors for sensing the presence of the train on a rail track when the train is in proximity to the sensors, said first and second sensors positioned adjacent to the track on opposite sides of the railway crossing at a first and second distance from the crossing;
• first and second processors operatively coupled to the first and second sensors, respectively, said first and second processors adapted to monitor the sensors and determine the speed and direction of the train when the train passes the sensors;
• a signal positioned adjacent to the crossing for signaling the public that the train is about to enter the railway crossing,
• a third processor operatively coupled to the signal and operatively coupled to the first and second processors by radio modems, the third processor is adapted to activate the signal when the train is within a predetermined time interval from entering the crossing, and is further adapted to activate the signal after a second time interval following the passage of the train past any one of said sensors, wherein the second time interval is calculated by dividing the relevant distance by the speed of the train;
• said first processor is operatively coupled to a first radio modem, the second processor is operatively coupled to a second radio modem, and the third processor is operatively coupled to a third radio modem,
• wherein the third processor is operatively coupled to a communication line and the third processor is adapted to transmit data concerning the passage of the train to users via the communication line.
