Taking 2 years’ efforts, the award-winning technical achievement will not only decrease the risk of accidents at level crossings (horizontal crossings of railways and roads) and significantly improve road safety, but also contribute to European standards for level crossings protection. It is also a reflection of innovation cooperation between the two countries. 08 Dec 2021 2739931 /sites/default/files/prezly/images/prezly_439672_thumbnail.jpg
