The Infrared Dual Track Level Crossing (ILC2) is used to fully automate a level crossing. Using Infrared (IR) sensors the ILC2 detects trains approaching and leaving a level crossing. It directly controls the flashing signals at the crossing as well as having the ability to operate boom gates. The ILC2 caters for different track configurations entering and exiting the level crossing. Multiple units can be connected together to handle any number of tracks passing through the level crossing.
