Factors Influencing Safety at Highway-rail Grade Crossings by David W. Schoppert,Dan W. Hoyt Pdf

A comprehensive analysis and review was undertaken of available data and information applicable to the problem of improving safety at highway rail grade crossings. A probability model was developed for forecasting the probability of accident occurrence at crossings. The model allows the separate prediction of expected accidents which involve trains and accidents which do not involve trains but occur at the crossing.

Criteria Used by State Highway Agencies to Determine Warrants and Priorities for Warning Devices at Rail-highway Crossings by John L. Sanford Pdf

The purpose of this study is to determine the warrants and/or criteria currently used by the individual states for applying various levels of rail-highway crossing warning devices, and what procedures each state uses to determine crossing improvement priorities. The objectives of this research study are: Obtain current information from each state about rail-highway crossing warrants and priorities for warning devices construction or improvements. Examine individual methods used to determine rail-highway grade crossing improvement warrants and priorities. Compare and analyze vehicle-train (VT) exposure indexes that the states use to develop their crossing warning standards and warrants. And, prepare a summary of the survey information and analysis for distribution to participating states so that each state can become aware of the national trends in warrants and priorities for rail-highway crossing warning devices.

Highway-rail Grade Crossing Surfaces by Hoy A. Richards Pdf

This synthesis will be of interest to state and local highway personnel who are responsible for the design, construction, and maintenance of road surfaces and to railroad personnel with similar responsibilities associated with highway-rail grade crossings. It will also be of interest to manufacturers and suppliers of pavement and track materials for crossings. It presents information on the current practices related to highway-rail grade crossing surfaces, including the design and selection of crossing surface materials. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the various types of highway- rail crossing surfaces, and the issues related to design, operation, and maintenance. Design elements include intersection geometry; drainage; special users, such as bicyclists; and descriptions of failures and their causes. Information is presented on crossing material selection factors, including life-cycle costs and on state practices in selection. Funding issues are also discussed.

Railroad - Highway Grade Crossing Handbook by United States. Federal Highway Administration. Office of Engineering. Railroads and Utilities Branch Pdf

This handbook briefly describes how growth of railroads and highways resulted in a proliferation of grade crossings and then discusses the variety of methods developed to warn pedestrians and vehicles of approaching trains. It is aimed primarily at providing railroad, state and municipal personnel with information which can help in cooperative efforts to improve grade crossing safety and efficiency. The book describes conditions and requirements at crossing; facilitates understanding of the elements of crossing systems; provides a compendium of existing grade crossing technology; serves as a guideline to aid in implementing improvements to grade crossings; aids in understanding and applying new technology; and serves as a basic text for training programs.

Rail-highway Crossings Study by United States. Office of Highway Safety Pdf

The last report to Congress on rail-highway crossing safety was in 1971-72. Since then, several actions and changes have occurred. These are discussed in the Executive Summary which is included in this report. This discussion is followed by 8 chapters. The final chapter summarizes the findings of this study on each of nine identified issues, as well as other issues identified during the course of the study.
