Abstract:This research included a literature review, an industry survey, development of general use cases for grade crossing, and case studies on four transit properties. It focused on engineering solutions and did not address education and enforcement solutions, other than what was necessary for the implementation of the engineering solutions. The literature review established that most rail grade crossings collisions are associated with motorist or pedestrian responses to grade crossing warning devices and to distractions faced. The literature review also noted 10 existing national-level documents (standards, guidelines, recommended practices, regulations, policy, technical manual) covering some aspects of rail transit grade crossings; there also may be state, local, and agency requirements. Use cases are presented, providing the basic configurations for rail transit grade crossings, including both conventional and street running types. The use cases also present traffic control devices (signals, signs, pavement treatments, etc.) typically employed. Findings are presented.
