Sentence examples for passive crossing from inspiring English sources

While most participants did not experience difficulties with the crossing being turned back to a passive crossing, a number of participants experienced difficulties stopping in time at the first encounter of such passive crossing.

Such results show the potential human factor issues of changing an active crossing to a passive crossing in case of failure of the detection of the train.

In order to evaluate whether such approach is safe, we conducted a driving simulator study where participants were familiarized with the new active crossing, before changing the signage to a passive crossing.

One of them is to use lower cost equipment with reduced safety integrity level, but with a design that would fail to a safe state: in case of the impossibility for the system to know whether a train is approaching, the crossing changes to a passive crossing.

Open image in new window Fig. 1 Typical Australian passive crossing as implemented in the simulator.

This driving simulator study has shown that the current performance of driver behaviour at traditional passive crossing with a stop sign is low after being familiarised with a crossing with low train traffic and with high sighting distances.

In a situation of high cross-linker density, individual filaments experience larger forces since they are transiently linked to clusters of other filaments via active and passive cross-linkers and the generated contractile stresses can increase.

Experiments revealed drastic effects of motor activity, including enhanced fluidization [ 97] or in the presence of additional passive cross-links a 100-fold stiffening (together with highly nonlinear elastic responses) [ 117, 121].

Interestingly, some studies have indicated that overloading the blood stream with a lysosomal enzyme might lead to a partial passive cross of the BBB (Polito & Cosma, 2009; Vogler et al, 2005); however, the resulting effect on brain pathology is modest and the mechanisms underlying the transport across the BBB remain unclear (Urayama et al, 2004).

This study was designed to assess the changes to road user behaviour when the warning fails and the RX2 (passive level crossing control with stop sign and cross-bucks) is the primary control at a level crossing.

In this paper, we explore architectural solutions to leverage the design elements of Passive Optical Cross-Connection Networks with Multiple Planes (POXN/MPs) and Passive Optical Cross-Connection Networks with Multiple Planes and Bundled Ports (POXN/MP-BPs), both of which consist primarily of passive optical fabrics and optical transceivers that replace groups of switches in hierarchical networks.
