Abstract

This paper discusses some of the results of investigations of railroad-highway accidents and accident-related inventory information that was collected from 15 states and three railroad companies. Statistical techniques were applied to tabulated data to obtain prediction equations for accident frequency and severity of various grade-crossing situations. The results of the analysis and the uses of prediction equations for the development of warrants for safety improvements are also discussed.
