“…Hu and Lin analyzed the train arrival impact on the frequency of accidents on roads and rail crossings at inclines [9]. Though a number of deaths at level crossings amount to only 2% of the total number of road deaths, it makes 20-30% of the total deaths in Railway [10].…”

This article is aimed at analyzing different methods of calculation of railway capacity of lines and applying them in "Lithuanian Railways", improving efficiency of railroad traffic management by using new and modern technologies, integrated into the new Traffic Management Centre (TMC) and its related systems, allowing the compression of railroad traffic schedule and facilitating conflict resolution during planning time by using new technologies. To assure new traffic prevision for "Lithuanian Railways", a new calculation method must be used, as today it is being used an old analytical method for capacity calculation on railway line, and this old calculation method does not allow the optimization of the use of the railway network. It is necessary to analyze new programming methods for calculating the train graph and its compression to adopt it in order to optimize the use of the network. This paper will present three methods used for calculating capacity consumption on railway lines and the results of applying one of them, the UIC 406 method, in a practice case. The practice case consist of adding two new trains in an already calculated schedule for the increment of the use of a line, using the new techniques for automatically detect the conflicts that appear after adding these new trains and solving the conflict. This paper will also present the statistical of how passenger's train demand increases passengers flow.

Given the high risk of severe accidents at level crossings (LCs), this study examined legal and illegal crossings by pedestrians and cyclists at a high-traffic LC in Zagreb, Croatia. Survey data and field observations were collected to identify reasons for risky behaviour. Behaviour was observed under normal conditions and in the presence of various safety measures in order to identify measures that can reduce risky behaviour. Results show that the presence of police officer at the LC was most effective at reducing illegal crossings, while the presence of cameras contributes significantly as well, especially after safety educational campaign when illegal crossing decreases for 59.23%. We can assume that in future the improvement regarding human behaviour on LC could be made with cameras on LC and more frequent educational campaigns. This is the first reported use of field survey and video surveillance methods to analyse user behaviour at LCs in Croatia.
