| 摘要： | The concern for enhancements for safety at highway-rail grade intersections (HRI) has been developed through the National ITS Program’s User Service #30. Through the U.S. Department of Transportation, numerous efforts have been undertaken to reduce the incidence of injuries and fatalities due to motor vehicle collisions at highway-railroad crossings. Current efforts include the demonstration and/or deployment of various innovative technologies. In May, 1999, the Federal Highway Administration ITS Joint Program Office (ITS JPO) sponsored a workshop that provided information on seven projects utilizing ITS HRI technologies. Consequently, ITS JPO tasked the John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center to compare the seven high priority ITS-HRI projects and address performance measures that track progress and the effectiveness of each. This document is an interim report of the comparative analysis. These projects cover HRIs with respect to light rail, passenger rail, and heavy freight. Many projects have a similarity with respect to the type of technology and project goals, but vary due to environmental, administrative, and legislative issues. All projects have received cost sharing funding and support. Although two of the seven projects have not been deployed, the other five have provided benefits for the HRI, target users, and adjacent community. |
