Abstract
During this presentation members of IN-TIME will highlight the need for coordinated response among all first responders at incident scenes. Through the use of statistics, videos, and real life events, we will reinforce the importance of quickly clearing roadways to restore normal traffic flow and prevent secondary crashes, which often result in serious injuries and deaths.
The use of roundabouts near at-grade railroad crossings has traditionally been shied away from due to the inability to ensure that the tracks can be cleared in advance of a railroad event. The Ohio River Bridges Project incorporated a roundabout interchange near an at-grade railroad crossing on SR 62, and this concern was mitigated using traffic signals. Signal configuration and controller logic, along with video of operational signals, will be shared in this presentation.
