Abstract:

The Highway Safety Acts of 1973 and 1976 and the Surface Transportation Acts of 1978 and 1982 provide funding authorizations for individual states to improve safety at public rail-highway crossings. Safety improvements frequently consist of the installation of active motorist warning devices such as flashing lights or flashing lights with gates. To assist states and railroads in determining effective allocations of Federal funds for rail-highway crossing improvements, the U.S. Department of Transportation has developed the DOT Rail-Highway Crossing Resource Allocation Procedure. The procedure consists of the DOT accident and casualty prediction formula, which predicts the number of casualties and accidents at crossings, and the resource allocation model, which nominates crossings for improvement on a cost-effective basis and recommends the type of warning device to be installed. This guide provides interested users with complete information for application of the DOT Rail-Highway Crossing Allocation Procedure. This second edition of the guide incorporates results of recent research including a casualty prediction formula, extended data on warning device effectiveness, and consideration of standard highway stop signs as a warning device option under certain conditions.
