As well the rising railway traffic, mainly caused by regional and local lines in the urban areas, calls for higher cruising speeds of trains. Such elements can increase the coincidence of factors leading, under unfavorable circumstances, to fatal effects mostly for road users. The book presents historical view on R-R level crossing safeguard and its development mainly within the Central Europe area, worldwide activities which should lead to safer situation at level crossings, recommendations for safer design and risk analysis and finally the lessons learn from the real pilot project realized in the scope of national grant which members the book authors were.
