RAILROAD SAFETY DEVICE AND ASSOCIATED DETECTION METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a railroad safety device including a waveguide (15), characterized in that the waveguide (15) comprises an electrically conductive strip (45) and an electrically conductive cable (50) each placed between rails (30) of a railroad track (10) suitable for allowing the circulation of a railroad vehicle, the strip (45) and the cable (50) being positioned across from one another, extending parallel to a longitudinal axis (X-X) of the rails (30) and separated by a layer of dielectric material, advantageously air, the cable (50) being electrically isolated from a wire supplying the railroad vehicle with electricity.
