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.

Evaluating Safety at Railway Level Crossings with Microsimulation Modeling [PDF]
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2012 Safety at railway level crossings (RLXs) is a worldwide issue that increasingly attracts the attention of relevant transport authorities, the rail industry, and the general public. The differences in the operation characteristics of varying types of warning devices, together with differences in crossing geometry, traffic, or train characteristics ...
