Highway Railroad Grade Crossing Workshop

Engineering/Design
Classroom

Description

Highway-railroad grade crossings introduce potentially severe conflicts between trains and vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Grade crossing safety and operational concerns involve two components: the highway and the railroad. The highway component includes drivers, pedestrians, vehicles and roadway segments in the vicinity of the crossing. The railroad component includes the trains and the tracks at the crossing. The element of risk present at a given crossing depends on the characteristics of these two components and their corresponding elements.
