A solid state device for controlling traffic crossing a rail junction in accordance with predetermined traffic schedules having means 6 to enable a specific schedule to be selected from a variety of available schedules. The means 6 are further adapted to allow remote maintenance, programming, re-programming, monitoring and or repair of the traffic schedules. The device is fully compatible with existing external circuitry or support systems 1 and enables new schedules to be uploaded by connecting an electronic data storage means. In addition, the device allows traffic schedules to be remotely changed, altered or varied to increase flexibility. In the specific embodiment the device generates output signals that imitate an existing photocell and contact bar arrangement. The device may be a solid state device. The schedules or time tables may be uploaded by electronic means which may include a detachable or portable memory device or an associated network.
