FERROMOBILE and Security for Low Moment of Traffic Level Crossing
Résumé
Level crossings (LCs) are critical components of railway networks and their safety is always at the centre of debate. Several accidents have occurred at level crossings due to non-compliance with road regulations, lack of visibility, behaviour of road users and many others. An innovative project called "Ferromobile" proposes a multi-modal, flexible, and electric vehicle capable of operating on both roads and rails. The main objectives of this project are to ensure flexibility, reconnect territories, promote carbon emission reduction, and maintain affordable costs. In this paper, the Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) system is proposed as a solution to enhance safety at the LC. WAVE ensures connectivity through dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) between the "Ferromobile" and the infrastructure collecting data about the environment. To ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and authenticity of the exchanged information, the methodology may include encryption mechanisms to protect the data against intrusions that have already happened, inducing an accident involving tramways.
