Railroad Crossing Signs, Retractable Delineators, and More

DADDS’ rail grade crossing safety system is a solution to improving safety at rail grade crossings through state-of-the-art retractable delineators, bollards, LED railroad crossing signs, and intelligent monitoring equipment. Combined, these features effectively detect, alert, deter, deny, and secure rail crossings from vehicle traffic during train passes. The innovative system deploys negative resistance delineators (Model 100) or positive resistance barriers (Model 400) at grade crossings to prevent train-car collisions and save lives. The base DADDS system can also control and report information on up to 20 other traffic control devices with unlimited expansion capabilities and/or interface with multiple grade crossing status systems. Communications of real time information to Automatic Train Control Systems is available through the proprietary controller communications module system. This system meets all FRA guidelines for Class 7 rail grade crossing operations and creates the safest operating environment for trains and motorists.

Notable features:

• Standard DADDS includes:
  • Modularly designed delineators and barriers designed for “plug & play” installation, maintenance, and repair
  • 24-volt power system that supports solar power use
  • K12-rated bollards with Parker Hannifin hydraulics, heated top plates, and an internal water evacuation system
  • Intelli-Monitor intelligent control and monitoring software that provides users with access to real-time system health and diagnostic data
• Optional monitoring features provide users with additional information:
  • Tamper status – barriers and controls
  • CCTV (video transmission from barriers)
  • Breach status
• Built-in back-up power eliminates system downtime during power outages

• Intelligent barriers report heath status to Intelli-Monitor controller and communicate to ITCS or other
• 24/7 monitoring provides customers with real-time system function and diagnostics of all perimeter or grade crossing safety and security products through a direct connection, or wirelessly via a high-speed Ethernet radio, cellular or satellite signals
• Monitoring system uses industry standard internet-based protocols for communications over public or private networks
• Intelli-Monitor can be seamlessly integrated with new or existing safety and security equipment, traffic signs and loop detectors, and motorized gates. Custom solutions can also be designed
• Monitoring software supports and runs on Microsoft Windows
