Abstract

This study aims to reveal the cause of crossing on closing railway crossing by logistics regression using actual survey data about driver experience (waiting time, waiting distance, the number of vehicles waiting, and the number of closed railway crossings encountered) before crossing. The results showed that increasing waiting time, waiting distance, number of waiting vehicles, and number of closed railway crossings encountered leads to an increase in the frequency of crossing at a closing railway crossing. The results also showed that when arriving at a row of cars, the waiting number and the waiting distance are the cause of crossing at a closing railway crossing. However, while staying in a row of cars, the creeping time and the stopping time are the cause of crossing at a closing railway crossing. An increase in the creeping time results in thrice the occurrence frequency compared to an increase in the waiting time.
