Sammanfattning:
This study examines the relationship between train track and the accident risk for road users at level crossing accidents. The marginal effect of train track on the accident risk can be used to derive the marginal cost per train passage that is due to level crossing accidents. Based on Swedish data from 2000 to 2008 over level crossing accidents, train volume and crossing characteristics, the marginal cost per train passage is estimated to 1.13 SEK on average in 2008. The cost per train passage varies substantially depending on type of protection, road type and the trac volume of the
trains.
