Monograph

This issue contains fifteen papers concerned with railroads. Specific topics addressed in this issue include the following: railway human factors and operational issues; future railroad operations and the role of automation; highway–rail grade crossing hazard-ranking and project development; and crash frequency, crash injury severity and visualization of accidents at highway–railway crossings. Other topics addressed in this issue include: North American high-speed passenger rail ridership forecasting; benefit–cost analysis of an intercity passenger rail service; reliability and cost in passenger rail system design; train data collection and arrival time prediction system for highway–rail grade crossings; the railway engineering education symposium; short-haul and short-line railway intermodal service; railway capacity allocation; macrolevel classification yard capacity modeling; and risk comparison of transporting hazardous materials in unit trains versus mixed trains.
