Using Bayesian Networks for the Purpose of Risk Analysis at Railway Level Crossings
, 2018 According to accident/incident statistics, railway level crossing (LX) is one of the most critical points in railways form the safety point of view. In the present paper, causal reasoning analysis of LX accidents is carried out based on Bayesian networks

Laser-Based Obstacle Detection at Railway Level Crossings
J. Sensors, 2016 This paper presents a system for obstacle detection in railway level crossings from 3D point clouds acquired with tilting 2D laser scanners. Although large obstacles in railway level crossings are detectable with current solutions, the detection of small

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.We developed an invasion risk index framework that integrates socioeconomic and environmental data using an entropy‐weighting method. The case study highlights the need for region‐specific biosecurity measures for Chilo suppressalis. Abstract BACKGROUND Biological invasion risk is a multifaceted concept that, according to the Food and Agriculture ...

Experimental Study of Non-Compatible Collision of Rail and Road Vehicle
Promet (Zagreb), 2014 The paper deals with safety of transport from the point of view of an important social problem, which are accidents at railroad (including tramway) and road level crossings, which means compatibility of rail and road vehicles crash.

Evaluation of Safety Improvement in Iranian Railway Level Crossings [PDF]
, 2020 Increasing railway level crossing accidents during nineties, made the railway to analyse the situation. The primary investigation showed that; despite having very few level crossings, unfortunately, the number of accidents is 4 times greater than the ...

Integrating Image Segmentation and Deep Learning to Improve Radio Frequency Propagation Models
International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper proposes a multi‐sensor approach to improve radio frequency (RF) propagation models, which play a key role in the rapidly expanding field of connected vehicle technology. Focusing on the 1‐ to 20‐GHz frequency range, which is critical for both satellite‐to‐vehicle and base station‐to‐vehicle communications, our study introduces a ...

Safety at railway level crossings : driver acceptance of potential ITS interventions [PDF]
, 2013 There is a continuing need to improve safety at Railway Level Crossings (RLX) particularly those that do not have gates and lights regulating traffic flow. A number of Intelligent Transport System (ITS) interventions have been proposed to improve drivers’

Australasian Road Safety Conference (ARSC 2021) [PDF]
, 2021 Pedestrian distraction is a growing problem. Current signage at railway level crossings may not be effective for pedestrians distracted by mobile devices, as it is designed for users looking ahead when walking rather than looking downwards as when using ...
