“…Pada umumnya, jalur transportasi darat seperti rel kereta api banyak ditemukan berpotongan/bersinggungan langsung dengan jalan raya yang dapat menimbulkan kemacetan ataupun kecelakaan lalu lintas. Kecelakaan di perlintasan sebidang antara jalan raya dan rel kereta api menimbulkan risiko keselamatan yang serius bagi para pengguna jalan raya, termasuk pejalan kaki yang mencoba menyeberang di perlintasan sebidang (Singh et al, 2021).…”

Jalur perlintasan langsung (JPL) adalah jalur pertemuan antara rel kereta api dengan jalan raya. Salah satu contohnya yaitu di lokasi JPL 46, Jl. KH. Ahmad Dahlan, Jakarta Timur yang dijaga oleh petugas resmi Penjaga Jalan Lintasan (PJL) dikarenakan JPL 46 selalu ramai dan padat sehingga memungkinkan terjadinya kemacetan ataupun kecelakaan di perlintasan tersebut. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan dengan menggunakan metode survei langsung pada lalu lintas di JPL 46 menggunakan form penilaian yang sudah tersedia. Penelitian ini bermaksud untuk menganalisis perlintasan sebidang dan berupaya untuk meningkatkan keselamatan pengguna jalan ataupun pengendara yang melintas di JPL 46. Hasil analisis membuktikan bahwa kelengkapan fasilitas jalan di JPL 46 tidak sesuai dengan pedoman teknis perlintasan sebidang, kondisi geometrik jalan sudah cukup sesuai dengan pedoman teknis perlintasan sebidang, kondisi perkerasan sangat baik, volume lalu lintas JPL 46 dapat dikategorikan tidak aman dan perlu dilakukan peningkatan dengan membuat perlintasan menjadi tidak sebidang, perilaku pengguna jalan kurang disiplin dan mengabaikan peraturan yang ada, serta hasil analisis risiko menggunakan metode HIRARC membuktikan bahwa tingkat kedispilinan pengguna jalan yang sangat rendah yang memungkinkan untuk terjadinya potensi kecelakaan lalu lintas seperti tertabrak/tersambar oleh kereta api atau dengan sesama kendaraan. Level crossing is a meeting point between railroad and highway. One example is at the location of JPL 46, Jl. KH. Ahmad Dahlan, East Jakarta which is guarded by an official Crossing Guard (PJL) because JPL 46 is always crowded and congested so that it allows congestion or accidents level crossing. This research was conducted using a direct survey method on traffic at JPL 46 using assessment form. This study intends to analyze level crossing and attempt to improve safety of road users at JPL 46. The results of analysis prove the completeness of road facilities at JPL 46 is not in accordance with technical guidelines for level crossing, the geometric condition of the road is quite in accordance with technical guidelines for level crossings, the pavement condition is very good, the traffic volume of JPL 46 can be categorized as unsafe and needs to be improved by making non-crossing level, the behavior of road users is less disciplined and ignores existing regulations, and the results of risk analysis using HIRARC method prove that the level of discipline of road users is very low which allows potential for traffic accidents such as being hit/struck by trains or by fellow vehicles.

“…''Table 8 shows that the highest number of fatal and serious injury crashes happens in winter conditions and the lowest number in the fall. Weather conditions such as low visibility, the presence of snow, and poor road conditions are contributing factors to highseverity crashes in the winter (55).…”

Safe railway operation is vital for public safety, the environment, and property. Concurrent with climbing amounts of rail traffic on the Canadian rail network are increases in the last decade in the annual crash counts for derailment, collision, and highway railroad grade crossings (HRGCs). HRGCs are important spatial areas of the rail network, and the development of community areas near railway tracks increases the risk of HRGC crashes between highway vehicles and moving trains, resulting in consequences varying from property damage to injuries and fatalities. This research aims to identify major factors that cause HRGC crashes and affect the severity of associated casualties. Using these causal factors and ensemble algorithms, machine learning models were developed to analyze HRGC crashes and the severity of associated casualties between 2001 and 2022 in Canada. Furthermore, spatial autocorrelation and optimized hotspot analysis tools from ArcGIS software were used to identify hotspot locations of HRGC crashes. The optimized hotspot analysis shows the clustering of HRGC crashes around major Canadian cities. The analysis of cluster characteristics supports the results obtained for causal factors of HRGC crashes. These research outcomes help one to better understand the major causal factors and hotspot locations of HRGC crashes and assist authorities in implementing countermeasures to improve the safety of HRGCs across the rail network.

“…They found that the four geometric features significantly affected at least one crash severity level and crossings with three main tracks contributed the most to long-term crash probabilities. Singh et al (2021) reviewed 578 crossings in Florida that experienced at least one collision from 2010 to 2019 and investigated various factors to understand the major causes behind crashes. They found that the majority of crashes occurred at public crossings that have either two-quad or four-quad gates, many of which were not illuminated, or urban crossings with high traffic volumes of high-speed traveling trains and vehicles.…”

Road-railroad crossings are where different modes of transportation meet, which brings safety concerns and the potential for hampering transportation efficiency and creating other issues. By surveying and interviewing professionals in Louisiana, this study aims to investigate incentive programs and their effectiveness in reducing the number of at-grade crossings for policy implementation. The results show that most agencies in Louisiana were concerned about safety at railroad crossings with one third supporting closing crossings to alleviate their concerns. In addition, stakeholders were also concerned about the condition and maintenance of crossings, traffic management, and access for active transportation. Among five identified programs, road improvement was ranked as the most effective program, and the combination of multiple programs may be more effective than any individual program. This study recommends that context-sensitive, accessible, and transparent policies, public education, and stakeholder engagement may help to improve safety and efficiency at road-railroad crossings overall.
