The behaviour of railway level crossings: Insights through field monitoring [PDF]
Transportation Geotechnics, 2014 Abstract The development of reliable methods for measuring deflections as trains pass has enabled valuable insights into railway track behaviour to be gained. This is especially useful for problem areas such as transitions from normal ground onto hard substructures and complex track geometries such as switches and crossings.

Journal of Advanced Transportation, 2022 Long waiting time at railway level crossings poses a risk on the safety and affects capacity of rail and road traffic. However, in most cases, the long closing time can be prevented by reducing the time lost at a railway level crossing.

Measuring driver responses at railway level crossings
Accident Analysis and Prevention, 2011 Railway level crossings are amongst the most complex of road safety control systems, due to the conflicts between road vehicles and rail infrastructure, trains and train operations. Driver behaviour at railway crossings is the major collision factor. The main objective of the present paper was to evaluate the existing conventional warning devices in ...

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.

A New Form of Train Detection as a Solution to Improve Level Crossing Closing Time
Sensors, 2023 The critical points on the rail and road network are their intersections, i.e., level crossings. During a train crossing, car traffic is stopped. This reduces the fluidity of traffic on the road and, consequently, can cause congestion.
