摘要: It has now been several years since the Highway-Rail Intersection (HRI) became an official part (User Service No.30) of the National Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Architecture. However, the effort to bring ITS to bear on the problems of HRIs has only recently begun to take off. The primary focus of the HRI/ITS effort is to improve safety through the appropriate application of new computer, sensing, and communication technologies at grade crossings. FRA has initiated an HRI/ITS standards program, in which AREMA is an active player along with multiple other standards development organizations. FRA is also in the midst of developing a strategic plan for the use of ITS at HRIs. In addition, a number of research initiatives are beginning to focus on saving lives, time, and money at HRIs. This paper will provide a survey of current progress, status, activities, opportunities, and challenges for applying ITS to Highway-Rail Intersections and the ways in which this exploration is beginning to spill over into other aspects of railway deployment and railroad operation.
