20.500.12556/RUL-176567 Framework for rail level crossings digital twin development The digital Twin (DT) is a technology that can be used to create a virtual representation or model of any physical entity. With the help of DT it is therefore possible to optimise the performance of the virtualised physical system and have a direct impact on increasing its competitiveness, efficiency and productivity, as the data flow can also be bidirectional. The DT of rail level crossings (RLCs) holds great potential for increasing rail safety. With the introduction of digitised components of the railway signalling system, the development of a suitable DT of RLCs is of great importance. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to define the basic requirements for the DT development of RLCs. The paper first analyses the past practises in the development of DTs in railway applications. Furthermore, essential input parameters of RLCs are defined, including the time of closing and opening of RLCs, the warning time, and the operating and blocking times of RLCs. With the aim of reducing the waiting time of road users in the era of train automation and digitalisation, the optimal location of balises and train speed should also be considered. The defined requirements and parameters form the essential elements of the framework for the development of the digital RLC twin. railway level crossing digital twin digitalisation and automation železniški promet varnost digitalni dvojček true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2025-12-04 08:34:40 2025-12-04 08:34:41 2026-02-13 11:46:39 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Str. 822–827 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 656.2:004.773.4 10.1007/978-3-032-04774-8_117 254129923 255229187 978-3-032-04774-8_117.pdf 978-3-032-04774-8_117.pdf 1 606B4AC3EC1882B94D27E5709351362D 66b71d6537b8978084ac15dbdba40ae42721ed99ba8d2b008e5a4d01946dba8b 6fb1bd44-d0e5-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=222978 https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-032-04774-8_117 1 963ed34e-d0e3-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=222975 Fakulteta za pomorstvo in promet 0 0 0
