Survey of Driver Perceptions of Railroad and Light Rail Warning Devices/Grade Crossings
Project Abstract
The overall objective of this study is to conduct a human factors survey to understand drivers' and pedestrians' behavior and perceptions at various types of railroad crossings and determine their understanding of different types of traffic control devices. This understanding would help the Diagnostic Team to take necessary steps to improve the safety of railroad crossings and also determine the appropriate information that should be included in the driver's manuals.
