Resumen
Descripción
The objective of this research was to quantify the impacts of various factors on three different
severity levels of pedestrian injuries sustained in crashes reported at highway-rail grade crossings.
This research utilized the 2007-2010 crash and crossing inventory data. The three crash severity
levels of pedestrians’ injuries were: no injury, injury, and fatality.
Data analysis showed that pedestrian fatalities were associated with higher train speeds and
with female pedestrians. Highway-rail grade crossings with a greater number of crossing lanes
and those equipped with standard flashing light signals were associated with a lower likelihood of
pedestrian fatalities.
