gression analysis was also adopted to develop the rail-highway grade crossing crash prediction formula that aids in prioritizing signal improvements [12].

Abinanti first introduced the bill following the fatal February Metro-North crash – where a commuter train collided with an SUV at a highway railroad grade crossing .
