The basic requirement of level crossing protection from the railway point of view is:
Protect trains from possible derailment due to collision with road vehicles which can be up to 20-30 tons.
Protect road vehicles and users from damage by collision thus precluding damage or loss claims.
Therefore the protection device provided should be governed by the following financial aspect:
Possible costs of damage to railway equipment, and loss of revenue due to disruption of service.
Costs of court action promoted by injured parties.
