Abstract

Railroad level crossings are potential points that are prone to serious accident risks. As transportation infrastructure grows, the importance of safety at level crossings increases. The accident prediction equation developed by the United State Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) is one of the most frequently used formulas due to its accuracy in predicting the number of accidents at level crossings. In this study, the calculation of hazard index and hazard index and probability of accidents for the next few years using the U.S. DOT formula approach at level crossings located in Madiun City, namely JPL 1, JPL 136 and JPL 138. Based on the results of the Hazard Index calculation, JPL 136 has the highest hazard index value of 194.859 followed by JPL 138 and JPL 1. The results of accident predictions for the next three years at both JPL 1, JPL 136 and JPL 138 are likely to occur 2 accidents at the crossing.

Abstract

Green energy development prioritizes sustainable sources like solar, wind, biomass, and geothermal to combat climate change and resource depletion. In this context, piezoelectric technology offers a promising solution for energy harvesting from vibrations and mechanical stresses, such as those generated by vehicles or trains. This technology converts mechanical pressure into electrical energy via polarization changes within piezoelectric materials. This system has proven effective in powering electronic devices and signaling systems at railway level crossings, especially in remote areas lacking grid access. This study employs a descriptive method with a quantitative approach, utilizing experimental data. Data acquired from experiments conducted with the device positioned at a railway level crossing, observing passing trains and various motor vehicles including cars, trucks, and buses, indicated a generated power of 18,185 watts. With the series installation of ten such devices, a total power output of 165.44 Watts per day can be achieved, which is sufficient to meet the energy demands of the signaling system. The harvested energy powers signaling systems, lighting, and other electronic equipment at level crossings. Implementing this technology not only enhances sustainability through renewable energy use but also reduces reliance on external electricity supplies. Consequently, piezoelectric technology significantly improves operational efficiency and railway safety, particularly at level crossings.
