Safety Analysis at Level Crossings

From the aspect of safety the level railway-road crossings represent one of the most critical points on the railway network. This is confirmed by the fact that they are often places where traffic incidents and accidents frequently occur, with consequences in human victims and great material damages. These facts represent an actual problem of traffic safety in every country and in the Republic of Croatia as well. According to statistics, the drivers of road vehicles are most often the cause for such emergencies, indicating their extremely low level of complying with the traffic regulations. This is also confirmed by the data on a large number of accidents or avoided accidents at crossings with the highest level of protection. The paper analyses the problems of railway-road crossings, safety condition and all the relevant statistical data about the causes and consequences of emergencies, both at the level of the Republic of Croatia, and at the level of the entire Europe.
