VRIOGS 003.2-2006SECTION 7.0WARNING SIGNALS AT ACTIVE CROSSINGSWarnings signals alert pedestrians to approaching trains. They require real-time traindetection. Many pedestrians have visual and hearing deficiencies that impair their ability torespond.7.1 Visual WarningsAt present there are a variety of signals that are used in Victoria, including flashing lights. Infuture it is likely that AS1742.7 will specify the following visual signals be used at all activepedestrian crossings. They would be located to face pedestrians at the gate position or if thereis no gate, the point behind which they should wait safely clear of a passing train. Designrequirements for signal lanterns are specified in AS2144.Until that time there is no requirement for an active visual warning.(a) Red Symbolic Standing Pedestrian SignalThe signal shown in Figure 11 would display a steady red man during the approach and thepassage of the train. It would be preceded by a flashing warning period. It would beswitched off at other times.Figure 11: Red Symbolic Standing Pedestrian Signal(b) Another Train ComingAn illuminated ‘another train coming’ sign similar to that shown in Figure 12 could be addedto all crossings with active control of pedestrian traffic, including gated crossings. The signwould be displayed when there would be no opening of the crossing between successivetrains.Figure 12 : ‘Another Train Coming’ Illuminated Sign
