Driver Feedback Device for Passive Railroad Grade Crossings. Safety IDEA Program:Final rept. (March 2004-December 2006)

摘要

The Safety IDEA project designs a prototype low-cost, portable device to provide drivers with explicit feedback about the safety of their behavior at railroad grade crossings. The countermeasure is a portable driver feedback display for temporary applications at passive highway-rail grade crossings. By providing feedback to drivers, the intent is that drivers will use greater caution when approaching passive crossings in the future, thereby reducing crashes. Because the system is designed to be moved from site to site, it is low cost on a per site basis, even though it provides intelligent sensing and individualized driver feedback.
