“…Nedeliaková et al [ 8 ] correctly state that the relevant facts are specific to individual railway level crossings under certain conditions, and each RLC thus needs to be monitored separately. In [ 8 ], it is noted that a wider debate is needed on issues such as the risk of accidents and incidents at railway level crossings. In [ 11 ], it was found that in the Czech Republic, the majority of accidents happen on RLCs only with flashing lights.…”

Railway level crossings (RLCs) in Poland are classified according to their protection systems. Category D, which is a form of passive RLC, aims to ensure safe and efficient operation. Surveying is essential to prepare and control the geometry of the visibility triangles used at RLCs. This article presents a new approach to monitoring the geometry of visibility triangles of RLCs using an electronic total station and a magnetic measuring square (MMS). Its main assumptions are presented together with the application of the innovative measuring instruments. Visibility is demonstrated taking into account the angles of intersection of the road axis with the track axis of the railway line and additional attributes related to the analysis and evaluation of general visibility conditions. The research highlights controversies that have received special attention against the background of the safety status of railway level crossings. As a case study, the RLC located on a single-track railway line in Poland is examined. The final section presents applications of the results obtained according to the proposed methodology. It is shown that the proposed approach is practical and effective. In addition to surveyors, the survey methodology can be used by road and rail traffic engineers and policy makers to further improve traffic safety at RLCs. This is an important global research task.

Perlintasan sebidang menjadi diskursus penting seiring dengan pembangunan perkeretaapian nasional sebagai transportasi massal. Hal ini menjadi menarik untuk diteliti untuk menguraikan permasalahan perlintasan sebidang di Indonesia. Penelitian ini berfokus pada pertanyaan: (1) bagaimana pengaturan mengenai perlintasan sebidang di Indonesia? (2) bagaimana identifikasi permasalahan di lapangan terkait dengan implementasi pengaturan mengenai perlintasan sebidang? (3) kebijakan apa yang diperlukan untuk meningkat kinerja perlintasan sebidang dalam menjamin keselamatan kereta api dan lalu lintas jalan di Indonesia. Penelitian merupakan penelitian kualitatif yang dikombinasikan dengan pendekatan peraturan perundang-undangan (statutory approach) dalam koridor penelitian hukum normatif. Hasil dari penelitian ini mengindikasi permasalahan inti dari perlintasan sebidang adalah konsistensi dalam pengawasan terhadap izin perlintasan sebidang, yang dalam perkembangannya berdampak pada keselamatan dan keamanan perlintasan sebidang, yang menimbulkan permasalahan kecelakaan dan kemacetan. Oleh karena itu, perlu dirumuskan solusi yang untuk masing-masing kondisi perlintasan sebidang dengan memperhatikan aspek sosiologis dan teknis penyelenggaraan perkeretaapian.

“…Their results have made it possible to simplify the scoring system used for safety assessment. The authors of paper [21], on the other hand, have emphasised the need for comprehensive monitoring of accidents causes at level crossings and for a computer program to be designed with the level crossing risk monitoring in mind. The authors of paper [17] have attempted to analyse hazardous patterns of behaviour of drivers at level crossings with reference to their on-site observations.…”

Relation between pre-warning time and actual train velocity in automatic level crossing signalling systems at level crossings

At level crossings equipped with automatic level crossing signalling devices (which are category B and C crossings in Poland), warning time depends on several factors including the length of what is referred to as the level crossing's danger zone for road vehicles, and the train velocity. These systems are designed by taking into consideration the maximum train velocity applicable to the given railway line, which is why a train running with a velocity that is lower than the maximum one, e.g. a freight train, produces pre-warning time excess. The pre-warning time excess affects the redundant prolongation of the time when the level crossing is closed for road vehicles. What has been proposed in the article is to reduce the pre-warning time excess by making the pre-warning time depended on the actual train velocity. It describes a structural concept of a solution which should first be implemented in automatic level crossing signalling systems. Owing to adequate assumptions, the concept of the pre-warning time excess reduction exerts no negative effect on safety at level crossings.
