The world's first intelligent equipment for railway crossing engineering protection rolls off the line in Changsha
Will reduce the duration of traffic interruptions caused by safety protection projects 83%
Hunan Daily •New Hunan Client, January 7 (Reporter Huang Lifei) On January 6, the KY-18 type safety protection equipment for railway crossing engineering, jointly developed by Southwest Jiaotong University Guangzhou Research Institute and Changzhong Machinery Co., Ltd., rolled off the line in Changsha. This "giant" with completely independent intellectual property rights realizes automation and intelligence in safety protection for scenarios such as railway construction, highway construction, and power line installation, filling a gap in the international manufacturing field of railway crossing engineering protection equipment.
Railway crossing engineering refers to construction projects that span railway lines, generally including optical cable installation and highway construction. During these projects, safety protection must be provided for the railway itself and construction personnel.
Luo Xiangyang, chairman of Changzhong Machinery, told reporters that safety protection for railway crossing engineering has always been a global challenge. Traditional protection measures involve manually building scaffolding or protective electric sheds, similar to the green protective nets erected around buildings during construction, requiring multiple coordination by railway departments and long traffic interruptions, with significant safety risks.
Taking the construction of a high-voltage power line crossing project as an example, building scaffolding requires the railway department to grant at least four closures over 4 days, each interrupting traffic for 90 minutes. However, using the newly launched KY-18 safety protection equipment, only one closure with a 30-minute traffic interruption is needed to complete the safety protection project.
Reporters at the launch ceremony saw that the KY-18 safety protection equipment is a "colossal object," composed of a steel structure, fully automatic control system, and insulated protective net. When fully deployed, the entire equipment spans above the railway with "four legs," and the bottom of the highest crossbeam is 14.5 meters above the track.
Wei Zhong'an, chairman of Southwest Jiaotong University Guangzhou Research Institute, introduced that after the KY-18 safety protection equipment is put into engineering use, the duration of traffic interruptions caused by safety protection projects will be reduced from the original 6 hours to 1 hour, a reduction of 83%. In addition to high efficiency and high safety performance, the KY-18 safety protection equipment also has typhoon resistance, eliminating the risks of scaffolding collapse and the hassle of timely dismantling during typhoons.
