Abstract: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 severity Prediction formulas, which predict the number of accidents and casualties at crossings, and the resource alloction model, which nominates crossings for improvement on a cost-effective basis and recommends the type of warning device to be installed. The guide provides interested users with complete information for application of the DOT Rail-Highway Crossing Allocation Procedure. The third edition of the guide incorporates recalibrated accident and severity prediction formulas using recent inventory and accident experience, and a more flexible and more complete software system.
