Prediction of Fatalities at Northern Indian Railways’ Road–Rail Level Crossings Using Machine Learning Algorithms

Infrastructures, 2023
Highway railway level crossings, also widely recognized as HRLCs, present a significant threat to the safety of everyone who uses a roadway, including pedestrians who are attempting to cross an HRLC.

Unpacking the Farmland Capitalization Effect of Ethanol Establishment

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We unpack the impact of expansions in ethanol production—as measured by proximity to newly constructed ethanol plants and capacity expansions—on farmland values using land transaction data from Kansas in combination with modern causal inference techniques.

On-road driving studies to understand why drivers behave as they do at regional rail level crossings [PDF]

, 2013
Improving safety at rail level crossings is an important part of both road and rail safety strategies. While low in number, crashes between vehicles and trains at level crossings are catastrophic events typically involving multiple fatalities and serious

Altered by Gold: A Comparative Zooarchaeological Analysis of 19th to 20th Century Chinese and British Migrants in Ravenswood, a Northern Queensland Gold Mining Town

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gold discoveries transformed the 19th century British colony of Queensland, Australia, driving migration, a second wave of pastoral expansion northwards, and an increasingly diverse population. This study presents a comparative and contextual zooarchaeological analysis of British and southern Chinese food waste—globally significant migrant ...

Poseidon's Sanctuary at Samikon—The Discovery of an Ancient Temple Through an Integrated Geophysical and Geoarchaeological Survey Approach for Lagoonal and Swampy Environments

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Below the classical fortress of Samikon at the coast of the western Peloponnese, ancient writer Strabo mentioned a sanctuary of Poseidon which served as the centre of the religious association of the Triphylian cities. In this paper, we describe the discovery and investigation of a building structure by means of geophysical and ...

Model for Risk Calculation and Reliability Comparison of Level Crossings

Entropy, 2021
There is not a single country in the world that is so rich that it can remove all level crossings or provide their denivelation in order to absolutely avoid the possibility of accidents at the intersections of railways and road traffic.

Development of a Microsimulation Model for Railway Level Crossings on Urban Roads Using PTV VISSIM

Media Komunikasi Teknik Sipil
A level crossing between railways and roads is one of the critical traffic elements in a road network system as it can cause significant delays and long queues, especially when the crossing is part of an urban road network.
