• Abstract:
  The highway/rail intersection has been a research initiative under the transportation management focus area of the Texas A&M ITS Research Center of Excellence. This initiative was the result of many years of research at the Texas Transportation Institute working to improve highway-rail intersection safety. Developments over the years of new technologies in sensing, communications, and information presentation offer the opportunity to further improve highway-rail intersection safety beyond current state-of-the-practice.
