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.
