This paper presents a research framework on the development of Railway Level Crossing (RLC) safety assessment model. Even though RLC accidents can be considered as a rare event, the impact is often severe. Since RLC safety systems are complex and dealing with at least two transport modes; Petri Nets approach will be applied in assisting the development of meaningful model. South Australia's situation is used as a case study for the purpose of this research. The components of basic concept of safety engineering; engineering infrastructure, level crossing surrounding environment and human factors will be also considered in the model.
