Eurostat Rail WG meeting Developments in rail safety statistics at ERA Eurostat Rail WG meeting Luxembourg, 01 October 2015 Vojtech EKSLER, Strategy and Safety Performance, Safety Unit

Presentation outline Outline Development in the statistical safety data collection (CSI data in 2014/88/EU) Changes to statistical safety data collection foreseen in 4th Railway Package ERA Railway Indicators and other ongoing work at ERA on safety data

Developments in Common Safety Indicators Data collection (Implementation of 2014/88/EU)

Common Safety Indicators (CSIs) CSI purpose and scope Common Safety Indicators (CSIs) Horizontal aggregated data on rail accidents reported by National Safety Authorities of MSs to ERA The purpose is to allow monitoring of safety performance and assessment of achievements of safety targets (CSTs) The scope is bound to the Directive’s scope (conventional rail systems of MSs with possible exclusions) Introduced back in 2006, fully harmonized since 2010, through the Railway Safety Directive (Annex I) Second revision of the Annex I in 2014, with the implementation ongoing

Latest revision of CSIs Commission Directive 2014/88/EU of 9 July 2014 Major changes to statistical data collection: Separate reporting of collisions of trains and collisions with an obstacle Reporting of accidents at LCs by type of LC Separate reporting of broken wheels and broken axles New reporting for Signal passed at danger and for suicides Unauthorized persons >>> Trespassers Track buckle >>> Track buckle and track misalignment Withdrawal of safety management indicators

Implementation of Annex I In 2015, NSAs report 2014 CSI data to the Agency (deadline end September) in line with the previous requirements (2009/149/EC) In practice, several NSAs provided CSI 2014 data according to the new requirements as well Full application foreseen from the next year (with 2015 CSI data) Data (2014) in Eurobase in line with the previous requirements

Challenging issues with rail safety statistics Intermodal comparison of safety risks Level crossing accidents (road vs. rail) Accidents involving transport of dangerous goods Injuries (serious) Suicides vs. trespassers

Changes to statistical safety data collection foreseen in 4th Railway Package

4th Railway Package legislation impact Railway Safety Directive (RECAST) reaffirms the Annex I data collection (2014/88/EU) reaffirms the ordinary legislative procedure as the mean for future amendments may reduce the scope of CSI reporting in some MSs obliging them to exclude some parts of the railway network from the scope of the Directive does not introduce new explicit requirements for rail safety data collection but pave way for systematic reporting of safety occurrences

4th Railway Package legislation impact Railway Safety Directive (RECAST) ERA to become European vehicle authorization and safety certification authority ERA to build one-stop-shop where data on vehicles, infrastructure and operations will play important role Stronger requirement on impact assessment (more and better data and their analysis to support this) Opportunity to introduce Occurrence Reporting at EU level

ERA Railway Indicators and other ongoing work at ERA on safety data

Ongoing work on safety data Fifth statutory biennial report Railway safety in the EU (early 2016) ERA Guidance for reporting CSI data (published back in summer 2015) Improvement of ERAIL-CSI database (new functions, better performance) Use of CSI data to assess achievements of safety targets (CSM under revision) Cooperation with other EU transport agencies to enable EU transport system safety monitoring Cooperation with Eurostat/UNECE/OECD to improve quality of data collection

Occurrence reporting Safety alert exchange Railway Indicators Ongoing work on safety information Occurrence reporting In-depth data on single railway occurrences Safety alert exchange Issues worth sharing at operational level mostly Railway Indicators ERA internal indicators to monitor the outputs and outcomes of the Agency work

WP on safety performance CSIs: milestones Railway Safety Directive, Art.5: “In order to facilitate the assessment of the achievement of the CST and to provide for the monitoring of the general development of railway safety Member States shall collect information on common safety indicators (CSIs) through the annual reports of the safety authorities.” WP on CSIs WP on safety performance 149/2009/EC 88/2014/EU 2006 2010 2013 Publication in Eurobase Collection started Full harmonization

Implementation of Annex I Implementation of the amended Annex I (ii) Directive 2014/88/EU entered into force on the 30 July 2014 (on the twentieth day after the publication 10 July 2014) and foresees a one year transposition period what leads to its application in MSs as from 30 July 2015.   The reporting of CSIs is governed by the Railway Safety Directive (2004/49): Art. 9(4) obliging RUs/IMs to report CSI data to their NSA by 30 June. Art. 18 obliging NSAs to report CSI data to the Agency by 30 September. Therefore, the new Annex I will probably not yet be used by RUs/IMs to report CSI 2014 data to NSAs this year. As a consequence, the first time the new Annex I will be applicable will be for RUs/IMs in 2016 (when preparing the CSI dataset with 2015 values) and consequently for NSAs when reporting the 2015 CSI dataset to ERA by the end of September 2016.

RSD (CSI) scope 2. This Directive shall not apply to: (a) metros; (b) trams and light rail vehicles, and infrastructure used exclusively by those vehicles; (c) networks that are functionally separate from the rest of the Union rail system and intended only for the operation of local, urban or suburban passenger services, as well as undertakings operating solely on those networks. 3. Member States may exclude from the scope of the measures implementing this Directive: (a) privately owned railway infrastructure, including sidings, used by the owner or by an operator for the purpose of their respective freight activities or for the transport of persons for non-commercial purposes, and vehicles used exclusively on such infrastructure; (b) infrastructure and vehicles reserved for strictly local, historical or tourist use; (c) light rail infrastructure occasionally used by heavy rail vehicles under the operational conditions of the light rail system, where it is necessary for the purposes of connectivity of those vehicles only; and (d) vehicles primarily used on light rail infrastructure but equipped with some heavy rail components necessary to enable transit to be effected on a confined and limited section of heavy rail infrastructure for connectivity purposes only.

Railway Indicators - Why? Overall objective of the Economic Evaluation activity: make sure that Agency’s different activities are strengthening the competitiveness of the European railway sector and supporting the establishment of the Single European Railway Area The Agency has to build an independent and transparent position based on facts Railway indicators (RIs) can support: The effective monitoring of the progress in policy objectives (intended outcome in the railway system) The comprehensive policy evaluation for the Agency’s four operational activities The identification of areas of the technical railway system in which the policy objectives are not fully achieved or could be achieved more effectively, without assigning blame The improvement of processes within the Agency
