The Analysis of the Collisions of Rail Vehicles with Animals with Regard to the Railway Traffic Safety
Journal Title: Logistics and Transport - Year 2014, Vol 22, Issue 2
Abstract
Although animal-train collisions are common they are poorly recognised. They pose a threat to the passengers’ safety and also cause countable loss for railway operators in the form of rolling stock repairs and delays. The problem is much more significant in passenger transport due to the higher speed compared with cargo trains. The scale of damages caused by collisions also depends on the size of the animal and the type of locomotive. The analysis of collision sites and careful collection of data by all the railway operators would have a significant influence on railway transport safety and costs.
