MEASURES TO IMPROVE LEVEL CROSSING SAFETY

This paper examines key measures to improve traffic safety at level crossings, which remain critical points of conflict between rail and road transport. It analyzes current infrastructure challenges, driver behavior, and technological advancements. The study proposes a comprehensive approach combining physical upgrades, such as modern barriers, LED signaling, and grade separation with innovative solutions, including automated warning systems and AI-powered surveillance. Ultimately, implementing these integrated measures can significantly reduce accident rates, prevent fatalities, and ensure smoother traffic flow at level crossings.
