The Australasian Centre for Rail Innovation Experimental field evaluation of the potential effectiveness of a prototype retro-reflective strip or screen installed at level crossings for the purpose of improving the detection by motorists of tabletop carriages and other trains.
A second pilot field trial of prototype retro-reflective screens installed at a level crossing in the Adelaide Hills of Callington, South Australia was undertaken in March.
The collected day and night footage from a car headlight distance of 200m is now being collated for testing with a range of volunteers with lab experiments.
