• Abstract:
  The Minnesota Department of Transportation, 3M, and Dynamic Vehicle Safety Systems have developed an in-vehicle signing system to alert drivers of potentially dangerous railroad crossing situations. In this project the in-vehicle signing system was installed in 29 school buses in Glencoe, Minnesota. The system was operational for the 1997/1998 school year. The system was initially installed at signalized railroad crossings but the test was later expanded to evaluate the technology for use at unsignalized or passive crossings. This report evaluates the impact of the system and the performance of the system’s technology.
