The concept of improving safety on D-grade railway level crossings

WUT Journal of Transportation Engineering, 2022
The article discusses the safety issue on railway level crossings, specifically emphasizing D-grade crossings, i.e., not equipped with any safety devices. Such crossings pose the most significant challenge to improving railway system safety.

Enhancing the insight into Czech railway level crossings’ safety performance

International Journal of Rail transportation, 2020
Railway level crossings (RLCs) are critical elements of both railway and road networks, where accidents mostly result in severe and fatal injuries. In the Czech Republic, most accidents occur on RLCs with flashing lights only. In order to provide insight

Can road user delays at urban railway level crossings be reduced? Evaluation of potential treatments through traffic simulation

, 2020
Railway level crossing closures can disrupt traffic flow significantly, especially in peak hours. The current increases in road and rail traffic worsen the situation and can result in congestion known to significantly increase road users’ travel times ...

Improving nighttime visibility and safety at passive railway level crossings: New designs incorporating photoluminescent markings and signs

Traffic Injury Prevention
Objectives Railway level crossings (RLXs) equipped with passive protective measures, particularly prevalent in rural and regional areas, pose substantial nighttime safety risks due to poor visibility associated with the absence of electrical ...

Enhancing Safety by Obstacle Detection at Railway Level Crossings

International Forum on Research and Technologies for Society and Industry Leveraging a better tomorrow
Automatically identifying the presence of obstacles at railway level crossings is an important and not negligible feature in order to guarantee the safety of both people and goods, but also to guarantee a smooth mobility of road and rail traffic.
