Why 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...

متن کاملEvaluation of Pedestrian Safety at Midblock Crossings, Porto Alegre, Brazil
pedestrians and to analyze pedestrian safety at crossings. The main objective of this paper is to present the development of a method to evaluate the potential risk of pedestrian crashes at midblock crossings, consistent with the realities of developing countries. The method comprises the identification of high-frequency crash locations that involve pedestrians, the selection of factors associa...
متن کاملUsing cognitive work analysis and the sociotechnical systems approach to improve pedestrian safety at rail level crossings Gemma
The sociotechnical systems approach argues that systems with adaptive capacity will be safer. However, this approach may conflict with current practice in safety management. We applied cognitive work analysis to understand the problem of pedestrian safety at rail level crossings and used the findings to evaluate the current design against the values of sociotechnical systems theory. The evaluat...
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...
