Accident Risk Analysis and Model Applications of Railway Level Crossings

2008 11th International IEEE Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems, 2008
In order to reduce property loss and casualties from level crossing accidents, it is crucial to develop effective accident prediction models that are capable of providing effective information of accident frequency and severity given a vector of covariates.

Human factors in level crossing accidents

Accident Analysis & Prevention, 1978
Eighty percent of the fatalities at road-rail crossings in Victoria between 1969 and 1974 occurred either at crossings protected by flashing lights in major urban areas, or at "open" crossings (i.e. protected only by signs and with no form of active device) in rural areas.

A CROSS‐LEVEL INVESTIGATION OF FACTORS INFLUENCING UNSAFE BEHAVIORS AND ACCIDENTS

Personnel Psychology, 1996
Several recent reviews of industrial accidents have given increased attention to the role of organizational factors as antecedents to the accident sequence. In the current study, three group‐level factors (i.e., group process, safety climate, and intentions to approach other team members engaged in unsafe acts) and one individual‐level factor (i.e ...

Multilevel Automated Security System for Prevention of Accidents at Unmanned Railway Level Crossings

Wireless Personal Communications, 2019
Developing technology to come up with viable, economic and efficient solutions for prevention of accidents at unmanned railway level crossings is an active research field. Many approaches have been proposed in this research area but none of them are efficient enough to deploy them at the unmanned level crossings and completely eliminate human presence.

Human risk factors leading to level crossing accidents

2022
Background: Quantitative estimates of effects of road/rail safety measures are often needed, but experimental or naturalistic data required is typically challenging to collect. The objective of this paper was to show how in-depth accident data could be used in estimating quantitative safety effects.

Risk analysis of level crossing accidents based on systems control for safety

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part O: Journal of Risk and Reliability, 2008
Train protection systems in Japan such as signalling systems and level crossing protection systems have been mostly developed by the improvement of individual subsystems in their performance as well as specific post-accident measures to prevent similar accidents from happening again.

Human Factors Issues of Accidents at Passively Controlled Rural Level Crossings

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2014
Collisions between road vehicles and trains at passively controlled level crossings, where no indication is given to drivers of the presence (or absence) of an approaching train, raise important human factors safety concerns. A database search of Canadian level crossing crash data for the 10-year period between 2003 and 2012 and a targeted review of ...

Ways to reduce an accidents at level crossings

2014
Aim. The main task of the organization traffic auto and rail transport has secure communication between these modes of transport. One of the most unsafe places the interaction of these modes of transport have railroad crossings. The aim of the study has different ways to improve safety in these places the intersection of rail and road transport and to ...

Prevention of Accidents at Road-Rail Level Crossings Protected with Automatic Barriers

Proceedings of the Human Factors Society Annual Meeting, 1988
A recent study on level crossing safety is reported. The study employed three different approaches: a survey of drivers' attitude to the level crossing, quantitative estimation of accident risk from characteristics of level crossings, and improvement of crossing design from the human factors point of view.
