Updated as of May 29, 2018 This final rule amends the regulations regarding the use of locomotive horns at public highway-rail grade crossings by establishing an excess risk estimate of 90.9 percent for public highway-rail grade crossings along the Florida East Coast Railway Company (FEC) line. When this final rule is effective, public authorities will be permitted to establish New Quiet Zones along the FEC line, in accordance with the existing regulations, through application of the excess risk estimate provided herein.

Book excerpt: This Action Plan presents a multi-faceted, multi-modal approach for improving safety at our nation's highway-rail crossings and for the prevention of trespassing on the rights-of-way of our nation's railroads. It is multi-faceted in that it presents enforcement, engineering, education, research, promotional and legislative initiatives addressing crossings of both light and conventional rail rights-of-way by public and private streets and highways. The objectives were to reduce the number of highway-rail crossing accidents and casualties while not impeding, but facilitating, the contribution potential of the highway and rail infrastructure on the nation's economy.

Book excerpt: Incidents and fatalities at highway-rail grade crossing in the United States have declined significantly over the past two decades despite a significant increase in both train and vehicle traffic. Therefore, to provide a more realistic comparison of safety performance over the years, it is important to include both train and vehicle traffic when calculating incident rates at highway-rail grade crossings. The U.S. Department of Transportation's (USDOT) Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) tasked the USDOT Research and Innovative Technology Administration's John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center) to review an exposure metric called traffic moment (TM), which is currently used by European nations, and to apply it to U.S. data.

Download or read book Special Study written by United States. National Transportation Safety Board and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Transportation Safety Board has studied accident data collected by four other Federal agencies, has investigated 14 accidents involving train collisions with trucks transporting hazardous materials, and as a result has determined certain characteristics of such collisions. An average of 62 accidents of this type occur annually, resulting in an average of more than 1.6 million dollars property damage, 41 injuries, and 7 fatalities. Some recent individual accidents have involved fatalities and property damage in excess of previous yearly averages. One railroad's data when extrapolated suggest that there may be as many as 750 near-collisions between trains and trucks transporting bulk hazardous materials each year. The accidents tend to involve trucks transporting petroleum products and to occur close to distribution/storage terminals. A uniform effort, as an extension of Operation Lifesaver, which includes engineering, education, enforcement, and legislation, is needed to reduce these types of accidents. Additionally, changes in data systems are needed.

Download or read book Railroad Grade Crossing Micro level Safety and Risk Analysis Phase 2 evaluation of Safety Risk at Highway Rail Grade Crossings written by Jacob Mathew (Writer on highway-railroad grade crossings) and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Railroad grade crossings are potential conflict points and pose a risk for all travelers. The degree of the risk depends on many factors such as volume train, volume of vehicles, speed of trains and vehicles, geometry of the crossing, etc. To assess the safety and risk of RR crossings, one may utilize aggregated data for the entire state or the country. Even though analysis of the aggregated data may be useful in establishing correlation among important variables, it might not be very useful for assessing the safety and risk for a given RR crossing. It is proposed to conduct a micro-level analysis to determine the risk of crashes at a given location (or a set of similar locations). The crash risk at a given crossing may depend on past crash history at that location, as well as the relation amount different elements that affect traffic safety at RR crossings. At the micro-level analysis one considers the uniqueness of each crossing and develops a risk factor for such crossings. Then, the safety and risk at system level is determined based on these individual safety and risk assessments. Phase one of this study is near completion and phase two will focus on safety and risk of accident at railroad crossing."--
