This project defines the functionality of a system that aims to reduce the speed of high-speed trains in real time when they are expected to cross with a freight train, to prevent shock waves and air vortices during the crossing from affecting the stability of the vehicles, increasing the risk of accidents. The aim is to manage rail traffic efficiently, optimizing travel times and reducing possible delays caused by these speed reductions.
