Assessment of Highway-Railroad Grade Crossing Strategies, Countermeasures, and Technologies to Improve Traffic Safety and Mobility in Florida
项目名称: Assessment of Highway-Railroad Grade Crossing Strategies, Countermeasures, and Technologies to Improve Traffic Safety and Mobility in Florida
摘要: The goal of this research effort is to identify, evaluate, and recommend transportation systems management and operations (TSM&O) strategies, traditional countermeasures, and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technologies to improve safety and mobility at highway railroad grade crossings (HRGCs) in Florida. The specific objectives include the following: (1) Understand safety issues and factors contributing to fatalities and serious crashes at HRGCs. (2) Assess the implementation of railroad dynamic envelope (RDE) pavement markings and associated signs at State-owned HRGCs in Florida. (3) Investigate the effectiveness of various traditional countermeasures, TSM&O strategies, and ITS technologies to improve safety and mobility at HRGCs. (4) Examine and provide a list of HRGCs needed for special treatments and recommend treatments. (5) Provide best practices, analysis results, research findings, and recommendations to FDOT to effectively improve safety and mobility at HRGCs in Florida.
