RESTRAIL Final Conference Lessons Learned from WP4 – Mitigation of Consequences Gilad Rafaeli, MTRS3,
WP4 at a glance 2 RESTRAIL Final Conference, Paris, 18 September 2014 Develop methods and tools to mitigate the potential impact of suicides and trespasses on railway infrastructures Integrated with existing procedures & technologies Safe, effective and cost- efficient Partners Railways Industry Research Research activities Improving procedural and organisational measures Enhancing situational picture, information management and communication Improving situational picture & communication for OCCs & incident command centres
Development of a knowledge platform 3 Knowledge platform (Consequences mitigation information reference source) Response arrangements guidelines RESTRAIL Final Conference, Paris, 18 September 2014 Improving procedural and organisational measures Information management & communication Decision making processes for traffic restoration
Information management solution 4 Functional specification document RESTRAIL Final Conference, Paris, 18 September 2014 Information management Prototype Implementation of consistent check lists Improving inter-agency collaboration and communication Common operating picture between all stakeholders Tasks automation Impact analysis Incident reporting and multimedia reconstruction Integration with field sensors (e.g. SCADA, CCTV, mobile devices)
LRM for decision support 5 Line restoration model - traffic restoration time forecasting RESTRAIL Final Conference, Paris, 18 September 2014 Decision support Integration with information management software Optimising the rescheduling of mainline rail traffic (passenger & freight) Providing better and more timely information to on- and off-site decision makers Providing better information to passengers in stations and trains, and online
Two field tests 6 Computer based training for decision makers Forward facing CCTV (FFCCTV) Police IM & RU staff Law enforcement agencies RUs British Transport Police Network Rail Equipment manufacturers RESTRAIL Final Conference, Paris, 18 September 2014
Computer based training 7 RESTRAIL Final Conference, Paris, 18 September 2014 Understand the problem, its scope and severity Understand incident response arrangements Provide support to resolve the incident as quickly as possible Evaluation Online survey Police organisations and law enforcement agencies involved in incident investigation and on-site decision making Targeted group Objectives
Forward facing CCTV (FFCTV) 8 Implementation – survey RUs, BTP and Network Rail in the UK Objectives Evaluation criteria On-board equipment DTI EMEA, Guiding Lights Technology and R2Protec video equipment Quantify the investigation and railway system down time Examine user requirements Examine wider use of FFCCTV Duration of evidence collection and investigation Decision making processes Exploiting benefits of FFCCTV RESTRAIL Final Conference, Paris, 18 September 2014
Field test results 9 Computer based training Forward facing CCTV Effective in imparting the content to decision makers The means described are perceived as contributing to reducing shut-down time Police and railways (IM & RU) represented by a relatively small sample Information is insufficient, as IMs & RUs do not collect data that would enable a quantitative assessment Benefits are arguable from a single RU point of view, and should be justified for wider usage RESTRAIL Final Conference, Paris, 18 September 2014 Fitting can be installed as part of a rolling stock or fleet retrofit
