Railroad-Highway Grade Crossings A Look Forward
The Committee on Railroad-Highway Grade Crossings is concerned with the safety and other affected characteristics (including economic considerations, traffic flow and delay, and countermeasures) of both highway and rail traffic at points where they intersect at grade, including the proximate surrounding environment and rail transit facilities. This is a white paper on the state of the art and t...
متن کاملEvaluation of Safety at Railroad-Highway Grade Crossings
The motor vehicle-train accident, though infrequent, is the most severe in terms of fatalities, personal injuries, and property damage per accident of all types experienced on American highways. This type of accident, however, can be eliminated only by closing all crossings to highway traffic or by constructing grade separations for all rail-highway crossings. The delay and congestion resulting...
متن کاملAn Evaluation of Traffic Control Devices and Driver Distraction on Driver Behavior at Railway-highway Grade Crossings
The U.S. railroad system is made up of over 700 railroads operating on 140,000 miles of track, with more than 130,000 at-grade public railway-highway crossings, or intersections in which any part of a roadway intersects with railroad tracks. Safety at these railroad-highway grade crossings and the related traffic control devices used to communicate with drivers is of major concern. There are th...
متن کاملWhy has safety improved at rail-highway grade crossings?
The number of collisions and fatalities at rail-highway intersections in the United States has declined significantly over the past 30 years, despite considerable increases in the volume of rail and highway traffic. This article disaggregates the improvement into its constituent causes. Negative binomial regressions are conducted on a pooled data set for 49 states from 1975 to 2001. The analysi...
