Evaluation of Experimental Railroad-Highway Grade Crossings in Louisiana
The report provides a review of the performance of thirty railroad-highway grade crossings installed experimentally in Louisiana between 1970 and 1983. They were constructed of rubber, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or pre-cast concrete panels that were installed under the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Experimental Construction - Category II Program. Performance evaluations were conducted semi-annually to determine the durability of the proprietary features, ridability characteristics of the approach pavement and crossing surface, effectiveness of the drainage, track structure and header boards. In addition to gathering statistical rail and traffic data, research personnel were present to observe and document the installation process. Based on the findings of these performance evaluations, Department policy and specifications are reviewed and updated on a continuous basis.
