Abstract:The Pilot Study of Advisory On-Board Vehicle Warning Systems at Railroad Grade Crossings is being undertaken by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), Intelligent Transportation Systems Program Office. This pilot study seeks to provide roadway vehicles approaching railroad grade crossings with an on-board, advisory warning of a train approaching or occupying the crossing. The primary emphasis of the study is to evaluate driver perceptions of the on-board warning system’s effectiveness, including the in-vehicle receiver position, warning display methods and overall system reliability. The study will use reliable off-the-shelf technology to supplement current primary grade crossing warning systems.
