摘要：	During the 1997-1998 school year, the Minnesota Department of Transportation completed a successful operational test of in-vehicle signing to warn school bus drivers when they were approaching highway-rail intersections (HRI’s). That test was done in partnership with Twin Cities and Western Railroad (TC&W), the Glencoe-Silver Lake School District, 3M and Dynamic Vehicle Safety Systems (DVSS). The results of that test have previously been reported at ITS America’s annual meetings. Building on the technologies and partnerships of that test, Mn/DOT is proceeding with a one year operational test of technologies that show promise of providing low-cost active warning systems for use at low-volume HRI’s. This paper describes the potential benefits of the technologies, the functional requirements, the proposed operational test and, finally, the results of a technology demonstration conducted on April 20, 2000.
