摘要

The Alabama Department of Transportation desires to make highway/rail crossings in Alabama as safe as practicable. Accordingly, it initiated Federal Aid Project HPPF-AL49(900) to determine whether DOT crossing number 728478C where US 231 crosses the Gulf & Ohio Railways track in Troy, Alabama would be safer and if driver behavior would be modified when a StopGate(TM) stop arm developed by Quixote Transportation Safety was installed at the crossing. Personnel from the University Transportation Center for Alabama (UTCA) were employed to help in two areas of the project: to analyze driver behavior characteristics based on digital images provided by Quixote and to document crashes and/or near misses at the crossing from data provided by the Gulf and Ohio railroad. Unfortunately, the digital images of driver reactions at the crossing supplied by a third party vendor were unusable for the analysis. Additionally, the Gulf & Ohio does not keep near miss records for the Shortline Railroad that includes this crossing. Without useful data, UTCA could not reach statistically verifiable conclusions. A limited amount of observations after the gates installation led to the following observation. The only violations that were observed occurred after flashing lights began but before full deployment of the gates; no vehicles drove around the gates, and there were no violations after the gates were locked in place. Rather than to attempt to draw firm conclusions from inadequate data, the UTCA team recommended instead to use the lessons learned from this installation to better prepare for future projects.
