Meet Riotech’s x-EGMS

The x-EGMS is a microprocessor based system designed to operate as an overlay to existing entrance gate warnings systems. The x-EGMS operates as the exit gate / vehicle detector contoller portion of a larger Four-Quadrant Gate Supplementary Safety Measure System. The EGMS provides inductive loop vehicle detectors to detect automotive traffic within the Minimum Track Clearance Distance (MTCD), which is essentially the area between the entrance and exit gates in the raised position until all vehicular traffic is clear of the MTCD.

Industrial electronic control panel with display, input/output cards, and communication ports.

Key Features

  • Dynamic exit gate control to raise exit gates depending on vehicular detection

  • Integrated vehicle detection through the use of E-1400 vital loop processors or external alternate vehicle detection systems168MHz processor provides more than enough computing power to tackle even the most demanding tasks.

  • Qualifies crossings for quiet zones

  • Interconnect to foreign railroads to create a shared quad gate warning system

  • 4 mappable outputs to provide alarm or other indications

  • Failed detector channel processing and alternate detector switching to maintain dynamic operation

  • Supports secondary operating mode, can switch from dynamic operation to timed operation in the event of vehicle detection failure

  • Multiple features to manipulate exit gate controls and behavior of quad gate warning system

  • Provides independent control of exit gates to comply with MUTCD

  • Entrance gate hold function to keep entrance gates down until exit gates confirm raising transition

  • Direct replacement for existing systems - allows use of existing power supply and e-1400 modules

  • Monitors gate positions

  • Forecasted*- alerting / alarming - XGCS can connect to IP cameras to record video and snap photos and alert via email any time an exit gate is inhibited
