摘要: |
This report presents an evaluation of traffic-control devices to improve the behavior of drivers when approaching and crossing a passive railroad-highway grade crossing (i.e., one without signals or gates). In addition to a review of the literature, the report includes a comprehensive analysis of the tasks drivers face at a passive grade crossing. Those responsible for signing and evaluating safety at grade crossings will find the report informative as well those interested in human factors in safety. A key audience for the report will be those responsible for the "Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices" (MUTCD) because it is intended that the recommendations be considered for the next edition of the MUTCD. |
