Level crossings as bottlenecks [PDF]
Vojnotehnički Glasnik, 2000 Level crossings represent bottlenecks from the aspect of vehicle capacity as one of basic parameters for traffic flow. From the railway traffic aspect they represent weak points on railway tracks due to rails exposure to the dynamic influence of road ...

Model for Risk Calculation and Reliability Comparison of Level Crossings [PDF]
Entropy, 2021 There is not a single country in the world that is so rich that it can remove all level crossings or provide their denivelation in order to absolutely avoid the possibility of accidents at the intersections of railways and road traffic.

Comparison of fatal motor vehicle accidents at passive and active railway level crossings in Finland
IATSS Research, 2016 The study compares accidents at passive and active railway level crossings, and both immediate and background risk factors are considered. Passive railway level crossings have no warning devices, although there might be a static warning sign.

Avoided level crossings in quasi-exact approach
Nuclear Physics B, 2021 In the quantum models described by analytic potentials V(r) with several pronounced minima the phenomenon of tunneling opens the possibility of a sudden relocalization of the system after a minor modification of parameters.

Loud and clear? Train horn practice at railway level crossings in Australia [PDF]
, 2021 The road environment has changed markedly over the years. Train horns are ostensibly used to alert road users and are typically mandatory on approach to railway level crossings. However, they have increasingly been seen as a nuisance.
