Crashes at railway level crossings continue to cause significant trauma across Australia. Despite being a longstanding safety problem, the design and operation of level crossings has not changed considerably for decades. This research will provide an in-depth understanding of road user, environmental and infrastructure-related factors that influence safety and performance at rail level crossings. This will be used to develop a world-first model of the level crossing system that is needed to support the development of innovative countermeasures that will improve safety. Reductions in the levels of significant trauma at level crossings, and new public policy for level crossing upgrades, are the intended real-world outcomes.

铁路平交道口的车祸继续给澳大利亚各地造成重大创伤。尽管平交道口是一个长期存在的安全问题，但其设计和运行几十年来并未发生太大变化。这项研究将深入了解影响铁路平交道口安全和性能的道路使用者、环境和基础设施相关因素。这将用于开发世界首个平交道口系统模型，以支持开发提高安全性的创新对策。减少平交道口重大创伤的程度以及平交道口升级的新公共政策是预期的现实结果。
