A QUICK OVERVIEW

The level crossing in Orbe VD in Switzerland had to be renewed as a result of a serious bicycle accident.

The operator was looking for a system that would allow a fall-free crossing. Small wheels can get caught in the flange groove, which can lead to accidents. veloSTRAIL closes the flange groove and eliminates the risk. Rail traffic is not affected by this.

That is why the decision was made to use veloSTRAIL. veloSTRAIL – an  inner panel only system – was combined in this case with pontiSTRAIL outer panels – the system for high loads.
