摘要 |
The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for controlling traffic at a railway crossing (BÜ), at which a road (S) and a railway line (B) intersect at the same height in a danger zone (G), wherein the road (S) has at least one access (Z) to the danger zone (G), and, subsequent thereto, has an exit (A) from the danger zone (G). The access (Z) for vehicles (F) in front of the danger zone (G) is blocked or released by way of safety means (11, 12). By measuring a traffic flow of vehicles (F) at the exit (A), the measured traffic flow is used to conclude a position of an end (E) of a backup of vehicles (F) at the exit (A), and by closing the access (Z) when the backup end (E) critically approaches the danger zone (G), traffic safety can be improved at the railway crossing (BÜ). |
