Abstract
A traffic control system () includes a railroad crossing control system () with a constant warning time device (), a wheel sensing system () with a sensor () connected to a rail () of a railroad track () at a predetermined position (P), and a communication network () interfacing with the railroad crossing control system () and the wheel sensing system () and adapted to transmit data. The wheel sensing system () provides speed values of a rail vehicle travelling on the railroad track (), wherein the speed values are transmitted to the railroad crossing control system () via the communication network () for producing a preemption signal for the traffic signal control system (). Further, a method for providing a preemption signal for a traffic signal control system () is described.
