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.

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.

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.

Review of low-budget measures for the prevention of traffic accidents at level crossings

International Conference on Road and Rail Infrastructure
Level crossing (LC), as an intersection of road and railway, is a traffic point with a high risk for the occurrence of traffic accidents. The causes of most traffic accidents on LCs are the result of LC user’s risky behaviour. Accidents happen on both passive and active LCs, indicating that the highest level of safety equipment does not guarantee ...

Effects of foggy conditions on driver injury levels in U.S. highway-rail grade crossing accidents

Case Studies on Transport Policy, 2017
Abstract Foggy conditions are considered to be potentially dangerous for drivers and have been paid considerable attention recently. However, few studies have addressed the influence of fog-related conditions on injury severity in accidents, particularly at highway-rail grade crossings.

Modelling and analysis of Herefordshire level crossing accident using management oversight and risk tree (MORT)

6th IET International Conference on System Safety 2011, 2011
This paper presents the results of analysis of the Herefordshire level crossing accident using MORT method. The aim of the study is to produce a comprehensive list of accident causal factors as per the MORT method using the RAIB Report as the input document.
