Abstract:

Each year in the United States there are more than 700 fatalities due to railroad rights-of-way crossings. Many of these fatalities are preventable. In addition to the annual fatalities, these collisions lead to trauma experienced by railway staff, rescue personnel, passengers, and eyewitnesses. Signs indicating safe and permissible behaviors near railroad rights-of-way are commonly relied upon to mitigate collisions. Research is needed to improve the effectiveness of signs and reduce the number of injuries and fatalities due to train-pedestrian conflicts and improve transportation rail-related safety.
