In this study, the application of a functional design of a level crossing sensitive to spot checkand speed ranges in the ETCS (European Train Control System) level-1 system was examined. This reviewhas been done in terms of total closure time and hardware requirement of the level crossing. Uponinspection, it was found that despite the short gain in the total closure time of the crossing, the hardwarerequirement and therefore the cost of its installation increased significantly. In the model examined, it wasobserved that there may be weaknesses in safety and operational efficiency despite the high costs impacts.It was proposed to build a road underpass / overpass instead of complex level crossing control designs. Ifthis option is not possible, level crossing design models with reduced closure times relying on the staticspeed profiles in the crossing point must be implemented.
