Many railways focus their attention on improving safety and reliability by addressing the most commonly experienced incidents. However;

  • How should we consider low-probability events? The events that might only be experienced once in the life of a transit network, but would be significant (potentially catastrophic) should they occur.
  • How can railways test their resilience to ensure that mitigations are effectively implemented?
  • What have been the second-order effects of COVID-19?

YRP East Midlands are delighted to welcome Andrew Love, Head of Train Control and Signalling at SNC-Lavalin Atkins. In this webinar, Andrew will discuss a whole-railway resilience model to identify risk mitigations from the human components of the railway system and dependencies from interfaces from outside the railway systems, as well as the more obvious risks and mitigations from the technological components of the railway system.
