LSM Technologies latest innovations promises to revolutionise safety at rail level crossings and overhead bridges.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

For nearly two decades, LSM Technologies has been a leading provider of workplace OH&S, productivity, and downtime minimisation technologies. Woodford, with extensive experience in mining, construction, manufacturing, heavy road transport, and rail sectors, designs impactful safety mitigation devices for industry workplaces.<\/p>\n

One of their latest innovations is the LSM TrainSense<\/a>\u00ae, aimed at increasing the safety of road and rail interactions. The TrainSense<\/a>, Rail Level Crossing Collision Awareness\/Avoidance System addresses the significant issue of vehicular collisions at level crossings.<\/p>\n

TrainSense<\/a>, is a small, puck-like device that transforms level crossing safety by reducing the impacts of human error, such as ignoring warnings or crossing barriers. It provides real-time audible and visual warnings to drivers (inside the vehicle cabin) using GPS coordinates of mapped railway level crossings. This cost-effective tool complements conventional warning devices and is small and easily attached to the vehicle’s windscreen.<\/p>\n

Compatible with automated technologies, TrainSense<\/a>, can decelerate and apply brakes if warnings are ignored, including Automatic Emergency Braking with compatible vehicles. This feature adds a layer of safety at no extra cost, with no subscription fees.<\/p>\n

Industry support for TrainSense<\/a>\u00a0is strong, but further backing is needed to ensure public benefit. Woodford is optimistic about saving lives, reducing costs, and improving traffic flow with this innovative technology.<\/p>\n

LSM TrainSense<\/a>, also pairs with LSM BridgeSense<\/a>, which reduces bridge impacts with over-height vehicles<\/a>. Together, these devices enhance transport safety. Woodford envisions a future where all road vehicles are equipped with TrainSense<\/a>\u00a0and BridgeSense<\/a>, drastically reducing level crossing and bridge impact incidents. He seeks support from both public and private sectors to drive growth and adoption of these transformative devices.<\/p>\n
