Abstract:

The objective of this research was to narrow the NJT provided list of 100 grade crossings to 20 through a developed selection method that can be utilized on a larger inventory in the future. This methodology was used to prioritize the provided grade crossings for closure by formulating a ranking model with selection criteria and evaluation factors, such as traffic and train volumes, speed, community impacts, and warning devices.
