Comparison of fatal motor vehicle accidents at passive and active railway level crossings in Finland [PDF]
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.

An Innovative Approach to Surveying the Geometry of Visibility Triangles at Railway Level Crossings [PDF]
Sensors, 2020 Railway level crossings (RLCs) in Poland are classified according to their protection systems. Category D, which is a form of passive RLC, aims to ensure safe and efficient operation.

Loud and clear? Train horn practice at railway level crossings in Australia. [PDF]
Applied Ergonomics, 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.

Getting the Attention of Drivers Back on Passive Railway Level Crossings: Evaluation of Advanced Flashing Lights [PDF]
Transportation Research Record, 2019 Improving safety at railway level crossings remains a priority for the rail industry internationally, as they remain a significant hazard. A high proportion of collisions occur at passive level crossings, because of their high prevalence and their lower ...
