A method for controlling a level crossing of a railway track comprising at least the following steps of: - providing a train having an onboard processor arranged to communicate with a wayside processor associated to a level crossing, said train extending between a forward end and a rear end; - moving the train forward along the railway track in a predetermined direction so that the forward end and the rear end move correspondingly along the railway track in the same direction; - lowering down gates of the level crossing when train is at a predetermined distance upon detection of the train approaching of the level crossing; - when the forward end passes over a first reference point defining the beginning of an island area associated to the level crossing, sending a first message from the onboard safety processor towards the wayside processor to inform that the train is approaching the corresponding level crossing; - maintaining down gates of the level crossing; - when the rear end passes over a second reference point defining the end of the island area, sending a second message from the onboard safety processor to the wayside processor to inform that the train has left the corresponding level crossing; and - lifting the gates of the level crossing.
