2010 - June - Weerakody - Upgrading of Level crossing protection on the Public Transport Authority Network | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Don Weerakody BSc(Eng) MIRSE MIE(Aust)Public Transport Authority WAThis paper discusses two PTA projects for upgrading of level crossing protection on the non electrified sections of the PTA network. It is also envisaged that a new road crossing may be provided in close proximity to the Fremantle boat harbour with boom gates and double pedestrian gates on either side of the road crossing. This crossing has been proposed by the organisers of the 2011 ISAF Sailing World Championship (which is the qualification event for the 2012 London Olympic Games sailing events) as an alternative access to road and pedestrian traffic during the championship. This event will be held in December 2011. This paper will discuss the reasons for upgrading the protection and details of the technology used at each crossing. |
