Download or read book Highway rail Grade Crossing Surfaces written by Hoy A. Richards and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 1998 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to state and local highway personnel who are responsible for the design, construction, and maintenance of road surfaces and to railroad personnel with similar responsibilities associated with highway-rail grade crossings. It will also be of interest to manufacturers and suppliers of pavement and track materials for crossings. It presents information on the current practices related to highway-rail grade crossing surfaces, including the design and selection of crossing surface materials. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the various types of highway- rail crossing surfaces, and the issues related to design, operation, and maintenance. Design elements include intersection geometry; drainage; special users, such as bicyclists; and descriptions of failures and their causes. Information is presented on crossing material selection factors, including life-cycle costs and on state practices in selection. Funding issues are also discussed.

Book excerpt: This Technology Sharing Report sets forth pertinent information on currently available types of grade crossing surfaces as an aid in choosing physically and economically suitable surfaces for individual crossing or groups of crossing to be installed or improved. Trade names and manufacturers' identification are solely for convenience of the user and not endorsements by DOT. Crossing surface products from 22 suppliers and soil stabilization fabrics from 12 manufacturers are discussed.

Download or read book Railroad Highway Grade Crossing Handbook written by United States. Federal Highway Administration. Office of Engineering. Railroads and Utilities Branch and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook briefly describes how growth of railroads and highways resulted in a proliferation of grade crossings and then discusses the variety of methods developed to warn pedestrians and vehicles of approaching trains. It is aimed primarily at providing railroad, state and municipal personnel with information which can help in cooperative efforts to improve grade crossing safety and efficiency. The book describes conditions and requirements at crossing; facilitates understanding of the elements of crossing systems; provides a compendium of existing grade crossing technology; serves as a guideline to aid in implementing improvements to grade crossings; aids in understanding and applying new technology; and serves as a basic text for training programs.

Book excerpt: Highway-railroad grade crossings are an integral part of the transportation system, allowing the two modes to operate in the same areas. Performance of the surface material at grade crossings has been an ongoing issue. This study reviewed the literature available on grade crossing surface materials and the crossing records available from MDOT in an attempt to determine which surface materials perform best for given traffic levels and site conditions. The study team found that the data currently available was not adequate to perform credible analysis of the situation, and recommended additions to the grade crossing data collected by MDOT, and a reporting method for that data. The team also made recommendations on a method to improve the rating system used by MDOT inspectors for crossing surface condition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last report to Congress on rail-highway crossing safety was in 1971-72. Since then, several actions and changes have occurred. These are discussed in the Executive Summary which is included in this report. This discussion is followed by 8 chapters. The final chapter summarizes the findings of this study on each of nine identified issues, as well as other issues identified during the course of the study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report concludes formal evaluation of forty-one experimental high-type railroad-highway grade crossing surfaces installed throughout Louisiana between 1970 and 1984. These crossings were composed of various types of rubber, high-density polyethylene, precast concrete or steel plate construction and were installed under varying ADT situations. Six interim reports profiled construction techniques, durability of proprietary surface crossing materials, rideability characteristics, effectiveness of drainage, track rehabilitation procedures and included statistical rail and traffic data. Performance evaluations were conducted examining criteria necessary for establishing departmental policies, procedures and specifications with regard to railroad-highway grade crossings and determining the materials' suitability for inclusion on the Qualified Products List.
