this study.

The study's goals are to determine:
(1) the effectiveness of cameras and accompanying signage to detect and deter highway-rail grade crossing violations along a mixed rail corridor (i.e., proof-of-concept), and (2) the human factors related to grade crossing violations.

Orlando will deploy a survey, funded by this directed grant, to collect the human factors data.
