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.

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.
