Safety at Level Crossings
Every year, more than 400 people are killed in over 1200 accidents at road-rail level crossings in the European Union. Together with tunnels and specific road black spots, level crossings (LC) have been identified as being a particular weak point in road infrastructure, seriously jeopardizing road safety. Safety at LC is a single part of a wider picture of transport safety within the whole tran...
متن کاملMeasuring driver responses at railway level crossings.
Railway level crossings are amongst the most complex of road safety control systems, due to the conflicts between road vehicles and rail infrastructure, trains and train operations. Driver behaviour at railway crossings is the major collision factor. The main objective of the present paper was to evaluate the existing conventional warning devices in relation to driver behaviour. The common conv...
متن کاملDesigning Inductors at Device and Converter Level
Commonly, the magnetic component designer focuses the design on the performance of the magnetic component without a detailed analysis of the whole circuit. However, a complete design process should cover different stages, from the analytical design to the circuit simulation using accurate models. This paper presents a design example where it is highlighted the importance of designing inductors ...
متن کاملDetecting level crossings without looking at the spectrum.
In many physical systems it is important to be aware of the crossings and avoided crossings which occur when eigenvalues of a physical observable are varied using an external parameter. We have discovered a powerful algebraic method of finding such crossings via a mapping to the problem of locating the roots of a polynomial in that parameter. We demonstrate our method on atoms and molecules in ...
متن کاملCorporate Responsibility for Pedestrian Risks at Level Crossings
This paper explores some aspects of communication with rail stakeholders in order to manage risks associated with rail accidents involving pedestrians legitimately crossing tracks at user-controlled crossings. It considers some issues contributing to the risks including human factors, some modelling approaches as well as some potential ways of addressing the problem. Ultimately, a key factor is...
