Abstract (en)

Traffic detection system (4) for detecting a motion of a vehicle (2) on a track (1), the traffic detection system (4) including a traffic sign state detection arranged for detecting at least a stop state signal (S3) of a traffic sign (3), the stop state signal indicating to the vehicle to stop at or before a standstill position (x0) at the traffic sign (3), wherein the traffic detection system (4) includes a motion detector (5), the motion detector (5) being arranged for measuring at least one of a set of motion parameters of the vehicle, and the traffic detection system (4) is arranged for determining based on the at least one motion parameter obtained by the motion detector (5), a prediction signal relating to the vehicle (2) while approaching the traffic sign (3), to predict if during the stop state signal (S3) the vehicle (2) is capable to stop at or before the standstill position (x0).
