Dr. Khattak’s presentation will broadly cover the status of safety at highway-rail crossings in the United States. Rail crossings are important junctions in the transportation network where traffic crashes are more severe than crashes elsewhere in the surface transportation system. Disruptions, such as traffic crashes, at highway-rail crossings can impact the movement of people and freight on both highway and rail networks. As such, implications of traffic crashes at these nodes are significant. Dr. Khattak will discuss recent trends in safety at highway-rail crossings and present research undertaken to improve safety at these locations.
