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.
