This is a burden for people living near railway tracks during work. Modern systems adapt to the ambient volume (mandatory from 2019) and only warn at full sound pressure in very loud environments. Even at reduced volume, this is still perceived as 73:

funded the project ALARP (A railway automatic track warning system based on distributed personal mobile terminals) in the years 2010–2013 by the total amount of €3,941,877.20. The aim of the project was to improve the safety of track workers through the development of an innovative ATWS using

In Germany, it usually consists of a series of signal lights and acoustic warning devices, which are mounted on steel poles or 301: 222: 268: 74:

There are collective ATWS and individual ATWS. The collective ATWS generates an acoustic signal for a group of workers. The individual ATWS is a
