Highway-Rail Grade Crossings &
Grade Crossing Expert

JRLA can evaluate the design, operation, maintenance, and regulatory compliance of both signalized and non-signalized grade crossings and assess their role in a collision.

JRLA's experience in highway safety research, railroad and train operations, and accident reconstruction gives us an unparalleled perspective on grade crossing safety. We can inspect, measure, and scan crossings to document their conditions and evaluate their safety. We can also evaluate the operation and effectiveness of both active and passive crossing traffic control devices.
