Ever wonder how trains climb steep hills? It's not just about their weight or speed. When going uphill, these factors can cause the wheels to slip, especially when it's wet. Trains use a sandbox that sprays sand on the tracks right before the wheels roll over. This gives them the grip they need to move up even the slickest slopes.

LSM BridgeSense® (int.pat.pend) technology is a solution. Other expensive mitigation controls just do not work. Vehicle Over - Height / Bridge impacts occur in Australia / Worldwide daily and costs $100's millions / annum in repairs, traffic delays / congestion, emergency response, etc and in some cases, fatalities. BridgeSense® is a CAS (Collision Awareness / Avoidance Systems) technology that will avoid / eliminate impact on approaching Over / Under Bridges, Tunnels, etc. #lsmbridgesense, #trainsense #bridgeengineering #bridgesense #bridgeimpact #bridgedesign #bridges #bridgecollision #teamlsm #railwaysafety #technology #innovation #creativity

Rain, wind, darkness - and you can't see a thing. Now, imagine having to drive in these conditions. How can the operation of shunting locomotives be made safer? Driving in poor visibility and under high workload - this is part of the daily routine of locomotive drivers in #shunting operations. Recognizing signals in good time and reacting to them can be a challenge. Our latest video shows how modern #videocameras and #sensors can assist train drivers. We as #BoschEngineering have put together a series of videos, where we will explain how #perception system can #innovate and shape the future of the rail industry.🎬 Which other sensing principles are great safety features for the shunting yard? Follow me and my colleagues to find out!

LSM BridgeSense® (int.pat.pend) technology, https://lnkd.in/gJR4p9Jn, is the solution to reducing human error and behaviour-related issues. Provides both audible and visual alerts directly within the driver's cabin for over- height, over- weight, over width, integrates with truck crane, bin, tray to ensure they are down and can initiate vehicle deceleration, braking, or automatic emergency braking (AEB) if warnings are ignored. #bridgeimpact #bridgecollision #bridgeengineering #bridgesense #bridgedesign #bridgeclearance #overheadimpact #teamlsm #technology #innovation #creativity #healthandsafety #railsafety

Super easy to use road smoothing machine

Single-slip switch railway crossing: You have likely seen this type of railroad crossing near junction stations. It combines the features of a diamond crossing with a turnout. This allows trains to switch between different tracks at the diamond crossing section. It is called a slip-switch crossing. A slip switch crossing has sets of movable switch blades operated by at least two switch machines or point machines. These switchblades can be positioned to guide trains from one track to another at the crossing. Video Credits: Animechanics #Safety,#Switch,#diamondcrossing,#railway,#train,#switchbaldes
