Complex road traffic environments can affect the clearance, influencing the safety of level crossings. Using simulations, these influences can be accessed at the beginning of and during the planning process to allow introducing appropriate counter measures. The time required for vehicles to completely clear the crossing (tk1), particularly for planning upstream traffic lights at neighboring intersections or junctions, can also be determined by repeated runs and evaluations in traffic flow simulations. Other areas of application include safety and risk analyses, e.g. to determine the probability of encounters between road and rail vehicles and to calculate the expected accident frequency based on this and other parameters.
