equipped with active warning systems
that are interconnected with highway
traffic signal systems. However, in
recognition of the critical role served by
highway traffic signal pre-emption
interconnections with respect to the
proper functioning of a highway-rail
grade crossing active warning system,
States, local highway authorities, and
railroads are encouraged to install
railroad and highway traffic signal
recording devices at all new and
improved highway-rail grade crossings
that have (or will have) active warning
systems which are (or will be)
interconnected with highway traffic
signal systems. Railroad and highway
traffic signal recording devices can
provide a record of any anomalies
associated with the operation of the
highway-rail grade crossing active
warning system and/or the highway
traffic signal system, which may prompt
further investigation. Thus, as noted by
the NTSB, these recording devices
should be capable of recording
sufficient parameters to allow railroad
and highway personnel to readily
determine that the highway traffic
signals and railroad-activated warning
systems are coordinated and operating
properly.
States, local highway authorities, and
railroads are also encouraged to
maintain and upgrade existing railroad
and highway traffic signal recording
devices at highway-rail grade crossings
that have active warning systems which
are interconnected with highway signal
systems. With respect to signal
recording devices for highway-rail grade
crossing active warning systems, older
devices can record basic information
such as approach time and estimated
train speed. However, current signal
recording devices for highway-rail grade
crossing active warning systems can
monitor a variety of system functions
and provide reports on the ‘‘health’’ of
the warning system, such as the status
of the flashing light units, gate position,
power supply, the presence of any
grounded circuits, etc. Many modern
traffic signal systems feature software
that includes various event logs that get
recorded in the traffic signal controller
itself. These event logs are periodically
retrieved by the central system software.
Among the data retrieved would be any
observed conflicts or preempts, as well
as logs and diagnostics on the vehicle
detector in-pavement ‘‘loops’’.
Recognizing that data provided by
signal recording devices can assist
States, local highway authorities, and
railroads with the maintenance of
interconnected highway-rail grade
crossing active warning systems and

highway traffic signal systems, FRA
recommends that States, local highway
authorities, and railroads use the data
provided by these recording devices
during their comprehensive periodic
joint inspections to determine whether
further investigation of any recorded
operational anomalies may be
warranted. It should be noted that
railroad and highway traffic signal
recording devices may be eligible for
funding through FHWA’s RailwayHighway Crossings Program (23 USC
130).
Recommended Action: Based on the
foregoing discussion and to promote the
safety of highway-rail grade crossings on
the Nation’s railroads, FRA recommends
the following:
(1) Each State and local highway
authority and railroad should conduct
comprehensive joint inspections of
highway traffic signal pre-emption
interconnections when the highway-rail
grade crossing active warning system is
placed in service, whenever any portion
of the system which may affect the
proper function of the interconnection
is modified or disarranged, and at least
once every 12 months, during which
observation of the actual pre-emption
function and its effect on the highway
traffic signal system can be made;
(2) Each State and local highway
authority and railroad should install
railroad and highway traffic signal
recording devices at all new and
improved highway-rail grade crossings
that have active warning systems which
are interconnected with highway traffic
signal systems;
(3) Each State and local highway
authority and railroad should maintain
and upgrade existing railroad and
highway traffic signal recording devices
at highway-rail grade crossings that
have active warning systems which are
interconnected with highway traffic
signal systems; and
(4) Each State and local highway
authority and railroad should use the
data provided by railroad and highway
traffic signal recording devices during
their comprehensive periodic joint
inspections of interconnected highwayrail grade crossing active warning
systems and highway traffic signal
systems to determine whether further
investigation of any recorded
operational anomalies may be
warranted.
States and local highway authorities and
railroads are encouraged to take action
consistent with the preceding
recommendations to help ensure the
safety of highway-rail grade crossings.
