| 摘要： | The John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center) was tasked by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) with evaluating one type of highway-rail grade crossing pedestrian safety device, commonly known as gate skirts, designed to prevent pedestrians from violating the grade crossing while the grade crossing warning protection systems are activated. This treatment consists of a secondary horizontal hanging gate arm under the existing pedestrian gate to better block access to the crossing by pedestrians who gain unauthorized entry by going under the down gates, in the presence of a stationary or moving train. At the request of FRA, Volpe Center participated in a New Jersey Transit rail safety pilot project to evaluate a prototype design installed at a grade crossing in Matawan, NJ, on May 30, 2012. The purpose of this research effort was to determine if the addition of gate skirting would result in fewer pedestrians violating the crossing on the sidewalk after the gates began to descend. |
