Abstract	The objective of the ITS HRI Standards Workshop was to characterize and move the development process forward toward the establishment of industry-concensus standards for the use of Intelligent Transportation System technologies at the Highway-Rail Intersection. In a 1998 report on Safety at Passive Grade Crossings, the National Transportation Safety Board concluded (1) that the long-term solution to eliminating passive crossings and reducing collisions between highway and rail vehicles will be through the use of intelligent transportation systems that will alert the motorist to the presence of the train and (2) that standards for ITS applications need to be established in a timely manner. The workshop had several purposes: First, to identify the standards needed for effective national deployment of ITS at the HRI, and to identify the technical and institutional opportunties and challenges related to the development of these standards. Second, to identify the standards organizations and individuals who need to participate in the development of ITS HRI standards. Third, to begin the dialog among the relevant stakeholders.
