      <title>Non-Motorist Safety at Highway-Rail Grade Crossings: Developing a Crash Prediction Model with Integrated Non-Motorist Exposure – Year 3</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2573721</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The proposed research objective is to address the safety of non-motorists at highway-rail grade crossings (HRGCs). In Phase III (Year 3), the research team will focus on a survey of pedestrians and bicyclists in Federal Region VII (NE, IA, KS, and MO) to investigate their characteristics, perceptions of safety at crossings, understanding and comprehension of traffic signs/signals at crossings, and their self-reported unsafe movements at HRGCs. The focus on this region ensures a representation of the Midwest, where the extensive rail network creates safety issues for non-motorists. Incidents involving non-motorist users at HRGCs are often underreported or overlooked, yet statistics reveal that they significantly contribute to overall fatalities and injuries at these locations. Pedestrians and bicyclists at HRGCs are particularly vulnerable due to the lack of adequate protective barriers or warning devices. In 2022, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) recorded 2,202 crashes at HRGCs, leading to 269 fatalities and 827 injuries nationwide. Furthermore, during the same year, there were 1,157 reported incidents of pedestrian rail trespassing, resulting in 606 fatalities and 551 injuries. These numbers emphasize the need for a comprehensive understanding of the risks associated with non-motorized users at HRGCs and identification of crossings where non-motorized users may be susceptible to crashes. This research will contribute to a deeper understanding of safety hazards associated with HRGCs and lead to the development of autonomous mitigation technologies for rail crossings. ]]></description>

      <title>RAIL-HIGHWAY CROSSING ACCIDENT/INCIDENT AND INVENTORY BULLETIN NUMBER 5, CALENDAR YEAR 1982</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/496950</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The fifth annual report, issued by the Federal Railroad Administration's (FRA) Office of Safety, combines rail-highway crossing accident/incident statistics with the National Rail-Highway Crossing Inventory.  Accident/Incident data have been obtained from the FRA's Railroad Accident/Incident Reporting Systems (RAIRS).  The RAIRS consists of the accident/incident reports filed by all railroads with the Office of Safety.  The National Rail-Highway Crossing Inventory contains information about all rail-highway crossings in the United States.  Section 1 of the report presents historical data on rail-highway crossing accidents/incidents for 1977 through 1982. Section 2 contains accident/incident statistics for 1982. These data were obtained from the rail-highway crossing accident/incident file and the railroad casualty file.  Section 3 combines information from the rail-highway crossing accident/incident file with data in the National Rail-Highway Crossing Inventory and shows relationships between certain crossing characteristics and accident frequencies.  Section 4 presents physical and operational statistics for all U.S. public, at-grade rail-highway crossings, as described by the National Inventory of June 10, 1982.  The report contains data from public and private crossings.]]></description>
