This study examines the relationship between train traffic and the accident risk for road users at level crossings. The … marginal effect of train traffic 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 on level crossing accidents, train volume and crossing …
