Abstract:

STATEMENT OF NEED: The state has been able to close more than 150 public grade crossings to motor vehicles since 1990 until 2000. ; During that 10-year period, Ohio has completed in excess of 1400 light and gate projects at a cost exceeding $140 ; million. With all of the efforts, more than 3500 public grade crossings still exist in Ohio, at the time of this research ; started, that are protected with crossbucks only. Two new crossbuck designs were developed by Conrail in ; cooperation with ODOT, to replace the current standard crossbuck and for subsequent evaluation in a large scale ; state-wide field study. One of the crossbuck designs is known as the Buckeye crossbuck, named after the Conrail ; Buckeye railroad yard, and the other design is referred to as the Standard Improved crossbuck.
