Abstract:This paper quantifies the safety benefits of a proposed near real-time traffic control system for highway–rail grade crossing (HRGC) utilizing emerging safety technologies in connected and autonomous vehicles (CAV). The connected-vehicle technologies that have applications at a railroad crossing include vehicle-based technologies (railroad crossing violation warning, automated or semi-automated braking system, drowsiness/distracted driver alert) and technologies that require cooperation from the railroad indus… Show more
