Assessing driver acceptance of Intelligent Transport Systems in the context of railway level crossings [PDF]

open access: yesTransportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour, 2015
Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) have the potential to substantially reduce the number of crashes caused by human errors at railway levels crossings. Such systems, however, will only exert an influence on driving behaviour if they are accepted by the ...

Modelling risk at low-exposure railway level crossings: supporting an argument for low-cost level crossing warning devices with lower levels of safety integrity [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part F: Journal of Rail and Rapid Transit, 2013
This paper describes a risk model for estimating the likelihood of collisions at low-exposure railway level crossings, demonstrating the effect that differences in safety integrity can have on the likelihood of a collision.

Crash occurrence and severity at railway level crossings in Bangladesh

open access: yesTransportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives
Although train accidents are less frequent than road accidents, their consequences are often detrimental, especially at Railway Level Crossings (RLCs), the intersection points between rails and roads.

Improving safety through advanced obstacle detection at railway level crossings [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Ambient Intelligence and Humanized Computing
The detection of obstacles at railway level crossings is crucial for ensuring the safety of passengers and cargo, as well as for maintaining a smooth flow of road and rail traffic.

Driver’s behavioural changes with new intelligent transport system interventions at railway level crossings—A driving simulator study [PDF]

open access: yesAccident Analysis and Prevention, 2015
Improving safety at railway level crossings is an important issue for the Australian transport system. Governments, the rail industry and road organisations have tried a variety of countermeasures for many years to improve railway level crossing safety ...

Safety and risk analysis at railway crossings of north-south Addis Ababa light rail [PDF]

open access: yesSmart and Resilient Transportation, 2021
Purpose – Railway-level crossings (RLCs) are the point of intersection between rail and road users and are therefore hotpots of road-rail user conflict and catastrophic collisions. The purpose of this study is to assess the risks associated with RLCs and

Traverses, delays and fatalities at railway level crossings in Great Britain. [PDF]

open access: yesAccident Analysis and Prevention, 2019
This paper investigates relationships between traverses, delays and fatalities to road users at railway level crossings in Great Britain. A 'traverse' means a passage across a level crossing by a road user, who may be a pedestrian, cyclist, or occupant ...

Safety at railway level crossings and Vision Zero [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Civil Engineering, 2021
In this work, safety analysis at the railway level crossings is presented using advanced mathematical modelling. Resistivity of track subgrade panels is taken into account.

MODELLING THE RANKING OF LITHUANIAN RAILWAYS LEVEL CROSSING BY SAFETY LEVEL [PDF]

open access: yesTransport Problems, 2017
The article describes the assessment of safety of Lithuanian Railways level crossing. The statistical analysis of the railway accidents in Lithuania and abroad in recent years has shown that about 30% of all transport accidents in railway occur at ...

Demonstration of Smart Railway Level Crossing Design and Validation Using Data from Metro Rail, South Africa

open access: yesJournal 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.
