“…The prediction formula so far obtained uses a regression formula which employs explanatory variables corresponding to each specification, such as a type of crossing, the number of tracks, the number of passing trains, road width, and traffic volume. However, in previous methods weather factors were not taken into consideration, therefore it was decided to propose, on this occasion, a "Method to Evaluate Safety at Crossings in Snow Zones or Cool Regions" which can reveal winter weather related conditions or events which lead to an accident in such cold or snowy areas [3]. This Method includes explanatory variables such as winter weather conditions and traffic conditions around a crossing.…”
