Texas has approximately 14,000 sites at which railroads intersect public roads and streets. Among these some 800 rail-highway grade crossing accidents occur annually. The accidents result in approximately 100 deaths and 300 injuries to motorists on Texas public roads each year. In order to reduce the number of accidents that occur at rail-highway intersections, new and improved warning devices are needed. In view of the costs involved, a procedure for establishing priorities for grade crossings safety improvement decisions is presented. It provides a framework for the construction of a ranking index for traffic intersections according to their investment alternatives. (Author)
