• Abstract:
  In the last 10 years, contrary to a decrease in the number of train-vehicle collisions at highway-rail grade crossings, the number of pedestrian and bicycle fatalities at highway-rail grade crossings has increased. The objective of this study was to contribute to the still limited research on pedestrian safety at rail grade crossings by expanding the scope of a previous study (Metaxatos and Sriraj, 2013) to include rail grade crossings operated by the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA).
