My late, but not forgotten, friend Byron Nordberg was very into that system, and had mentioned it to me, when he was working at Metrolink. This was shortly before he was diagnosed with cancer. He had planned to visit Sweden to see it, and to look at another type of Doppler based actuation that brought the gates down fast for a fast moving passenger train, and was able to wait longer for slower moving things like ore trains, reducing driver impatience and non compliance. Unfortunately, he never got to make the trip.
