Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) plays a key role in addressing highway-rail grade crossing safety issues by allocating federal funding through the Railway-Highway Crossing (Section 1030) Program. This Program requires each state to select eligible projects through a data-driven project selection and prioritization process. NDOT currently relies on the use of a modified version of the New Hampshire Hazard Index formula for this project prioritization. However, NDOT feels that the results of this formula have not accurately reflected actual safety needs of many crossings throughout the state. This report summarizes current grade crossing safety trends in Nevada and at the national level, reviews the strengths and weaknesses of NDOT's current grade crossing safety prioritization procedures, and evaluates potential alternative hazard index models used by other agencies. This report also includes summaries of peer interviews with the Arizona, Oregon, and Utah Departments of Transportation and also includes a summary of feedback received from an Expert Panel consisting of representatives from NDOT, the Federal Railroad Administration, Federal Highway Administration, Union Pacific Railroad, and others. Finally, the report proposes a revised Hazard Index Model for consideration as a replacement for NDOT's current model.

Download or read book Railroad Grade Crossing Micro-level Safety and Risk Analysis - Phase 2 (evaluation of Safety Risk at Highway Rail Grade Crossings) written by Jacob Mathew (Writer on highway-railroad grade crossings) and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Railroad grade crossings are potential conflict points and pose a risk for all travelers. The degree of the risk depends on many factors such as volume train, volume of vehicles, speed of trains and vehicles, geometry of the crossing, etc. To assess the safety and risk of RR crossings, one may utilize aggregated data for the entire state or the country. Even though analysis of the aggregated data may be useful in establishing correlation among important variables, it might not be very useful for assessing the safety and risk for a given RR crossing. It is proposed to conduct a micro-level analysis to determine the risk of crashes at a given location (or a set of similar locations). The crash risk at a given crossing may depend on past crash history at that location, as well as the relation amount different elements that affect traffic safety at RR crossings. At the micro-level analysis one considers the uniqueness of each crossing and develops a risk factor for such crossings. Then, the safety and risk at system level is determined based on these individual safety and risk assessments. Phase one of this study is near completion and phase two will focus on safety and risk of accident at railroad crossing."--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive analysis and review was undertaken of available data and information applicable to the problem of improving safety at highway rail grade crossings. A probability model was developed for forecasting the probability of accident occurrence at crossings. The model allows the separate prediction of expected accidents which involve trains and accidents which do not involve trains but occur at the crossing.

Download or read book Development of Railroad Highway Grade Crossing Consolidation Rating Formula written by Zachary Hans and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this project was to provide an objective methodology to support public agencies and railroads in making decisions related to consolidation of at-grade rail-highway crossings. The project team developed a weighted-index method and accompanying Microsoft Excel spreadsheet based tool to help evaluate and prioritize all public highway-rail grade crossings systematically from a possible consolidation impact perspective. Factors identified by stakeholders as critical were traffic volume, heavy-truck traffic volume, proximity to emergency medical services, proximity to schools, road system, and out-of-distance travel. Given the inherent differences between urban and rural locations, factors were considered, and weighted, differently, based on crossing location. Application of a weighted-index method allowed for all factors of interest to be included and for these factors to be ranked independently, as well as weighted according to stakeholder priorities, to create a single index. If priorities change, this approach also allows for factors and weights to be adjusted. The prioritization generated by this approach may be used to convey the need and opportunity for crossing consolidation to decision makers and stakeholders. It may also be used to quickly investigate the feasibility of a possible consolidation. Independently computed crossing risk and relative impact of consolidation may be integrated and compared to develop the most appropriate treatment strategies or alternatives for a highway-rail grade crossing. A crossing with limited- or low-consolidation impact but a high safety risk may be a prime candidate for consolidation. Similarly, a crossing with potentially high-consolidation impact as well as high risk may be an excellent candidate for crossing improvements or grade separation. The results of the highway-rail grade crossing prioritization represent a consistent and quantitative, yet preliminary, assessment. The results may serve as the foundation for more rigorous or detailed analysis and feasibility studies. Other pertinent site-specific factors, such as safety, maintenance costs, economic impacts, and location-specific access and characteristics should be considered.
