  1. Application of Innovation and Technology to reduce the Safety Risk at Level Crossings and deliver Value for Money Name of presenter here

  2. Summary of our presentation • Background • Current situation on Network Rail • Where are we now – technology and innovation • Examples of some successes on Network Rail • Final Summary Create your footer by changing copy in the Header and Footer section

  3. Introduction • Around 7000 crossings • Broad types • Controlled • Fully automatic • Passive • Rights of way date back over 150 years, • Requirement to be fully fenced. Presentation title to go here

  4. Summary of crossing types Create your footer by changing copy in the Header and Footer section

  5. History and Society – how to balance? • Most LX date from the 19 Century • Road/rail interface completely changed since then • Society doesn’t accept accidents • How do we balance:- Create your footer by changing copy in the Header and Footer section

  6. History and Society – how to balance? • What do we need to balance? • Safety risk (direct from system failure), • Safety risk (indirect from crossing misuse), • Our reputation as a safe, efficient provider of transport, • Our legal obligations and……….costs How do we understand the risks? What are our challenges? Create your footer by changing copy in the Header and Footer section

  7. Current challenges • Operating a busy, high speed railway, • Need to deliver a reliable and safe train service, • Working within a strict legal and regulatory environment, • In a society • Which expects railways to be 100% safe, • Which wants to find someone to blame, • Where road users are impatient and will not tolerate delay.

  9. Establishing a safety target • What does society expect of us – 100%, • What does the government expect – that we have done all that is reasonably practicable, • Need to understand where we are now, • Need to understand how changes will alter the risk, • Within a need to be financially efficient, • “What is safe enough?” Create your footer by changing copy in the Header and Footer section

  10. Need clear strategies and policies • Clear safety policy • Clear technology policy • Clear asset policy We can • Eliminate • Educate • Enforce • Enhance and engineer Create your footer by changing copy in the Header and Footer section

  11. LX Technology • Level Crossing Technology Strategy • Defining priorities aligned with policy • Clarity of Vision • Sharing with suppliers and stakeholders Create your footer by changing copy in the Header and Footer section

  12. LX Technology • Value for Money • Understanding the cost centres associated with the delivery of level crossings • Identifying where the opportunities for new technology exists • Identifying problems where Innovation is required • Developing output based requirement specifications Create your footer by changing copy in the Header and Footer section

  14. LX Technology • Innovation • A structured process to solving identified problems • Think, Explore, Prove, Do Create your footer by changing copy in the Header and Footer section

  15. LX Technology • Innovation • Process applied to User Worked Crossings • Resulted in Sudbury GPS trial Create your footer by changing copy in the Header and Footer section

  16. GPS Train Location – SB Equipment • PC using Internet can show map display or a basic line schematic • Consulted when answering telephone to give permission to cross • Basic Line Schematic will show eta at a crossing at line speed • Coloured RED as warning if eta is 4 min or less • Cant show you the real thing yet…. But not dissimilar to this Create your footer by changing copy in the Header and Footer section

  20. MCB-OD: LIDAR Application LIDAR guaranteed detection is a 115mm target @ 13m range. • Which will miss a child’s leg at 13m • So one LIDAR is set low to detect a prone pedestrian • The other is set high enough to catch a child’s body Create your footer by changing copy in the Header and Footer section
