This method for commanding a railway level crossing protection system comprises steps of: a) activating (100) a railway signal preventing a train from driving beyond a level crossing, b) detecting (102) an incoming train approaching the level crossing and measuring a speed of said incoming train, c) calculating (104) a waiting time, as a function of the train's measured speed; d) waiting (106) until expiration of the calculated waiting time and, once said waiting time expires, sending an order to commute the protection system into the protected state; e) querying (108) the state of the protection system and if said protection system is found to have commuted into the protected state, deactivating (110) said railway signal, and maintaining said railway signal in the activated state otherwise. Calculation (104) of the waiting time comprises steps of: - acquiring reference data comprising a plurality of speed value intervals each associated to a predefined waiting time value, - selecting the speed value interval corresponding to the measured speed value, and - selecting the predefined waiting time value associated to the selected speed value interval.
