Level crossing warning timeline: obstacle confirmation · case 04

The protecting signal clears although the obstacle detector never confirmed the crossing empty.

Member previewVariant 4 · 3 implementations · 8 checks per implementation

Case contract

Strike-in at t0 starts amber; red follows 3 s later; entrance barriers are down 4 s after red plus lower_s; exit barriers 4 s after that. Half-barrier crossings are proven at entrance-down, four-quadrant crossings at exit-down. Train arrival is t0 + floor(distance*3.6/speed). The protecting signal clears at max(proven, obstacle clear) and never without an obstacle confirmation (None). warning_ok needs arrival-red >= min_warning_s and a clear time no later than arrival - sighting_s.

Why this case matters

Interlocking logic decides whether trains may be given authority; a wrong decision at this point either grants unsafe movements or strands traffic.

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
