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 کاملInvestigation of Key Factors for Accident Severity at Railroad Grade Crossings by Using a Logit Model.
Although several studies have used logit or probit models and their variants to fit data of accident severity on roadway segments, few have investigated accident severity at a railroad grade crossing (RGC). Compared to accident risk analysis in terms of accident frequency and severity of a highway system, investigation of the factors contributing to traffic accidents at an RGC may be more compl...
متن کاملVisual Monitoring of Railroad Grade Crossing
There are approximately 261,000 rail crossings in the United States according to the studies by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). From 1993 to 1998, there were over 25,000 highway-rail crossing incidents involving motor vehicles averaging 4,167 incidents a year. In this paper, we present a real-time computer vision system for t...
متن کاملCenterline Curbing Treatment at Railroad Crossings for Improved Safety
The main objective of this paper is to report on unsafe actions of motor vehicle drivers at railroadhighway grade crossings and drivers’ response to installation of a centerline barrier that prevented them from driving around the gates. A comparison of unsafe driver actions in the preand post-barrier periods provided an idea about the effectiveness of the barrier in reducing unsafe driver actio...
