A paper which focusses on road users’ awareness of two key hazards at level crossings. The paper concludes that alternative methods of raising awareness of hazards should be designed and tested with participants, and measures that are shown to be beneficial should be considered for implementation.
A paper which covers the current challenges for Network Rail to implement new technology to improve user safety at level crossings. It covers the current situation and confirm where Network Rail wants to be from a technological and operational perspective. The paper also deals with Network Rail policies and the obstacles to be overcome to reduce the risks from level crossing systems and make them safer for both road and rail users.
A paper which describes in detail the steps being taken by Indian Railways to improve level crossing safety.
A paper which analyses the causes of legal violation level crossing accidents and what measures might be effective to prevent them.
A paper which examines a new approach to systematically identifying, assessing and managing non-technical interface risks. The emphasis of the approach is on bringing both parties together to work jointly to manage the interface risks.
A paper which provides a summary of historical organisational factors, an explanation of the strategy adopted, why this approach was adopted and the resulting improvement achieved in reducing shunting collisions on KiwiRail.
A paper which provides an overview of a successful approach that brough railway companies, railway unions and the regulator to the same table to jointly develop and endorse guiding material aimed at enhancing the implementation of SMS within the Canadian Rail Industry.
A paper which describes the development of a national approach to rail safety in Australia.
A paper which discusses changing Irish Rail Engineering’s approach to safety. The changes delivered a 69% reduction in occupational safety lost time accidents and a similarly significant reduction in asset safety risk. In developing the new safety management system, the use of Lean Manufacturing principles can contribute significantly to the robustness, simplicity and effectiveness of that SMS.
A paper which describes the actions taken to improve safety at level crossings in South Africa
