The publisher would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused. From the United States Department of Transportation, Federal Railroad Administration The United States Department of Transportation, Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) firmly denies the allegation by Jacob Mathew and Professor Rahim Benekohal that the “New Model for Highway-Rail Grade Crossing Accident Prediction and Severity” (New APS) adopted any of their work. FRA determined that the Mathew-Benekohal articles relied on an outdated 3-equation approach and that their small sample sizes were inadequate. For a complete list of the resources used to develop the New APS, see full report, Section 8.

Mathew and Benekohal's response to The United States Department of Transportation, Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)’s alleged errata for the article “Highway-rail grade crossings accident prediction using Zero Inflated Negative Binomial and Empirical Bayes method”. Why we say the new FRA model was adopted from the work we had done previously. The reasons we say the new FRA model was adopted from the...
