• Abstract:
  This report is the Project Report for the Rail Crossing Violation Warning (RCVW) safety application developed for the project on Rail Crossing Violation Warning Application and Infrastructure Connection, providing a means for equipped connected vehicles on approach to a Highway-Rail Intersection (HRI) to be warned of an imminent violation of an HRI active warning/protective system through the interconnection of a connected vehicle Roadside-Based Subsystem (RBS) with track-circuit based train detection systems in place at active HRIs. The objective of this project was to utilize a Systems Engineering approach to design, develop, test, and evaluate a prototype Rail Crossing Violation Warning (RCVW) application in laboratory and field conditions. This project aimed to demonstrate the potential for leveraging real-time connected vehicle concepts and services to enhance and transform rail crossing safety.
