FORMING RISK ASSESSMENT MODELS FOR LEVEL CROSSINGS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS

Risk assessment models are developed for level crossings with automatic barriers in 11 accident types. These are formed by the quantification method of the first type, using 2,614 accident data collected over 5 years from January 1986 to December 1990 and the data representing 30 crossing features in each of 28,059 first grade crossings as of July 1988. Validity of each model is demonstrated by examining the relationship between the risk estimated by the models and the number of accidents which occurred in a period different from the one used in developing the models. So these models can fairly accurately estimate the risk in each one of the first grade crossings.
