Similarity #1: Relatively small, isolated issues within a much larger system. Kidney stones are small compared to the entire body and isolated to a specific part within the body; the kidney. Traffic issues at rail crossings are small compared to issues across the entire road network and isolated to specific areas around rail crossings. Similarity […]

In 2017, the City of Winnipeg wanted to get some solid numbers about how much traffic was actually delayed at this crossing. The City approached TRAINFO and asked for our help. We happily agreed and used it as an opportunity to compare the conventional modeling method and TRAINFO’s new measurement method for estimating traffic delay […]

Modeling Traffic Delay at Rail Crossings How traffic models work The modeling approach applies traffic engineering theories to estimate traffic delays at rail crossings. Due to insufficient rail crossing blockage data and travel speed data, this approach relies on many incorrect assumptions [2]. Basically, models assume traffic volumes, hourly distribution, speed (and other traffic characteristics), vehicle […]
