TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Improving level crossing safety through enhanced data recording and reporting: The CRC for rail innovation's baseline rail level crossing video project JO - Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part F: Journal of rail and rapid transit A1 - Wullems, Christian A1 - Toft, Yvonne A1 - Dell, Geoff SP - 554 EP - 559 VL - 227 IS - 5 N2 - This paper describes the work being conducted in the Baseline Rail Level Crossing Video project, supported by the Australian rail industry and the Cooperative Research Centre for Rail Innovation. The paper discusses the limitations of near-miss data for analysis obtained using current level crossing occurrence reporting practices. The project is addressing these limitations through the development of a data collection and analysis system with an underlying level crossing accident causation model. An overview of the methodology and improved data recording process are described. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of benefits this project is expected to provide the Australian rail industry.
