Measuring driver responses at railway level crossings.
Railway level crossings are amongst the most complex of road safety control systems, due to the conflicts between road vehicles and rail infrastructure, trains and train operations. Driver behaviour at railway crossings is the major collision factor. The main objective of the present paper was to evaluate the existing conventional warning devices in relation to driver behaviour. The common conv...
متن کاملA Framework for Risk Management in Railway Sector: Application to Road-Rail Level Crossings
A major concern in rail industry worldwide is to ensure safety in railway operations in general and at road/rail level crossings in particular where the number of fatal accidents has been significantly increasing over the years. Accidents at level crossings are the result of complex interactions between factors arising from the design and operations of level crossings. An important first step t...
متن کاملDevelopment of an in-vehicle warning system for railway level crossings
fic safety problem for road users and a major safety issue for railways [1–2]. The developed in-vehicle warning system aims to reduce the number of accidents at level crossings by increasing the alertness and awareness of the car driver approaching a level crossing [3]. The system is expected to improve safety especially at passive level crossings with occasional vehicle drivers where existing ...
متن کاملFatal accidents at railway level crossings in Great Britain 1946-2009.
This paper investigates fatal accidents and fatalities at level crossings in Great Britain over the 64-year period 1946-2009. The numbers of fatal accidents and fatalities per year fell by about 65% in the first half of that period, but since then have remained more or less constant at about 11 fatal accidents and 12 fatalities per year. At the same time other types of railway fatalities have f...
متن کاملUsing a driving simulator to assess driver compliance at railway level crossings
Railway level crossings have the potential to bring motor vehicles and trains into fatal contact. In Australia there are approximately 9,400 public railway level crossings across the country, protected either passively (64%) or by active/automated systems (28%). Passive crossings provide only a stationary sign warning of the possibility of trains crossing. Their message remains constant over ti...
