Overview
Background & policy context:
Marginal cost pricing is an important keystone in Swedish transport policy. The infrastructure charge made by the Swedish Transport Administration to the train operators includes a component for rail-road level crossing accidents that should be based on the marginal cost principle.
Objectives:
The objective of the study is to examine the relationship between train traffic and the accident risk for road users at level crossings.
