The present disclosure relates to a railway collision protection and safety system having a vehicle device located on rail vehicles at a work zone, a personal protection unit located with rail workers at the work zone, and a dispatcher processor at a control center. An authority limit within the work zone may be determined by the dispatcher processor, and an authority exceeded signal is sent to the rail vehicle when the rail vehicle is determined to exceed the authority limit.

A transporting vehicle system includes a prohibited travel zone setter that sets a first prohibited travel zone where entry of a travelling vehicle is prohibited, an additional prohibited travel zone setter that sets a second prohibited travel zone upstream of the first prohibited travel zone according to rules, and a transporting vehicle controller that controls a transporting vehicle to prevent the vehicle from entering the first prohibited travel zone or the second prohibited travel zone.

A method for coordinating operation of motor vehicles with a coordination device having a sensor, a computing device and a communication device includes determining from sensor data location and movement information of the motor vehicles, calculating an expected trajectory for each motor vehicle from the location and movement information, checking whether trajectories of different motor vehicles spatially and temporally overlap so as to create a conflict, in the event of a conflict transmitting a driving instruction to at least one motor vehicle, and executing the driving instruction or displaying the driving instruction on a display device of the at least one motor vehicle.
