A system for controlling a level crossing comprising: - one or more transceivers located in proximity of a level crossing area on a first side of a 5 railway track; - one or more corresponding passive reflective targets located in proximity of the level crossing area on a second side of the railway track opposite to the first side where each transceiver is located; - a control unit connected to each transceiver; 10 wherein - each target is arranged to receive RF signals coming from each transceiver and to send back corresponding reflected signals; - each transceiver is arranged to elaborate said reflected signals so as to calculate predetermined parameters values; 15 - the control unit is arranged to acquire said parameters values from each transceiver and to elaborate them so as to detect the presence of a train in an area around the level crossing area and, in case of presence of said train, to send a warning message and/or close bars of the level crossing. 20 Figure 1 E) 1101 lb
