Kolmogorov–Arnold Networks for Accident Risk Prediction at Highway-Rail Grade Crossings

Abstract

AbstractHighway-rail grade crossings, critical intersections where highways and railways meet, pose significant safety challenges, with approximately 2,000 incidents annually in the United States, according to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). ...Practical ApplicationsThis study demonstrates how crash history, traffic levels, highway features, and warning devices can be used together to estimate accident risk at highway-rail crossings. The results confirm that crossings with heavy traffic, higher ...
