Non-national standard turnout drive system based on double 2-vote-2 architecture
The disclosure relates to a non-national standard turnout drive system based on a double 2-vote-2 architecture, including an interlocking processing subsystem IPS, an interlocking maintenance station SDM, a non-national standard turnout drive module HIOM and an interlocking maintenance station SDM, wherein the non-national standard turnout drive module HIOM, a full-electronic communication module EIOCOM2, and the interlocking processing subsystem IPS are connected with each other in order, and the full-electronic communication module EIOCOM2 is connected to the interlocking maintenance station SDM; two non-national standard turnout drive module HIOMs, which are mutually redundant, obtain turnout drive commands through the interlocking processing subsystem IPS to control drive relays in a non-national standard turnout to lift and fall for driving the turnout to rotate toward a specified direction, while collecting representation information of the turnout and determining a position of the turnout. Compared with the prior art, the disclosure has advantages of high reliability and strong maintainability.
CROSSING GATE MECHANISM WITH INTEGRATED COVER OR DOOR DETECTION SCHEME
A crossing gate mechanism includes an enclosure housing multiple electric and electronic components with a control unit configured to operate the crossing gate mechanism and associated crossing gate arm, a cover for opening and closing the enclosure, wherein the cover is moveable between a closed position and an open position, wherein the enclosure houses a sensing device, wherein the cover includes a detectable device, and wherein the detectable device is arranged in the cover such that, when the cover is moved into the closed position, the detectable device comes in proximity to the at least one sensing device, and the sensing device is configured to indicate that the cover is in the closed position.

Track switching apparatus for rail trolleys
The present invention relates to a track switching apparatus for rail trolleys. It comprises at least one linear track, a curved track connected to the at least one linear track, at least one switching region formed at a connection region of the linear track and the curved track, and at least one switching unit disposed in the at least one switching region.
Grade crossing gate arm position detection system
A crossing gate mechanism includes a swingable gate arm, a rotatable gate arm shaft fixed to the gate arm, and an electronic sensor assembly coupled to the gate arm shaft. Rotation of the gate arm shaft corresponds with swinging of the gate arm. The electronic sensor assembly senses an angular position of the gate arm shaft and transmits a position signal corresponding thereto. The electronic sensor assembly includes a driving element that is attached to the gate arm shaft to rotate therewith. the electronic sensor assembly also includes a driven element that is driven by the driving element such that rotation of the gate arm shaft causes the driven element to rotate. The electronic sensor assembly is configured to generate the position signal based on a position of the gate arm shaft.
