Railway`s view:• Safety through tried and tested system• Track quality is the same everywhere
(track line and LC area)• Low expenditure for installation and
dismantling• Low expenditure required for routine
maintenance• High electrical resistance with track
insulation• Good rating for life cycle costs (LCC)
Level CrossingsRequirements

Road Operator`s view:• Safety through tried and tested system• Continuously road space• High skid resistance due to grain-rough
surface• High level of durability with heavy duty
truck & lorry traffic• New developments to get even higher
performance in safety aspects on thelevel crossing
Level CrossingsRequirements

• BODAN comes up to all requirements-> track- and street-side
• BODAN – bridge structure; the loads of road trafficweighing on the panels are elastically transferredthrough rubber profile wedges to the rail foot. The elasticity of the rail is maintained also in the levelcrossing area.

Why to use colours in Level crossings
- Raise attention of car drivers- Raise attention of persons crossing- Marking areas where „not to stop“- Slow down car speed- Seperate areas of car and pedestrian traffic- Architectural aspects- Indicate, that there is a track crossing
