Observed growing changes in the character and severity of the risks in rail traffic safety and rail transport security are associated with present development of utilized technical solutions. New hazards are coming out, besides known ones, including hazards associated with cyber-crime. As a result it is fully justified to undertake works dedicated to collect and settle all risks associated with technical solutions using modern technologies for acquisition, computing and transfer of the data, which are vital from the rail traffic safety and rail transport security point of view. Article defines rail transport systems safety, security and cybersecurity functional integrity levels thanks to knock-out and differentiating questions regarding identified key safety related functionalities. Proposed methodology was used for safety and security verification of a chosen homogenous rail transport system separated from the overall Polish railway system. Results have shown discrepancies in utilized protection measures. Proposed methodology can be used for assessment of existing systems as well as for specifying scopes of investments both for infrastructure and rolling stock modernizations. Applicability range covers railway transport, light rail services, metro, urban rail transport systems as well as rail based transport systems using autonomous vehicles.

The paper analyses the railway accidents sources in the Czech Republic on the basis of knowledge on complex system behaviour. It derives seven categories of sources of railway accidents. The individual categories include the accident sources from the same field domain. These domains are: technical related to rail traffic vehicles; technical related to rail infrastructure and railway station; railway operation control – organizational causes; railway operation control – cyber causes; control of rail traffic vehicles; attack on the train; domain legislative and other. The results show that for railway traffic safety improvement, it is necessary to pay attention to all categories, and especially to these that lead to organizational accidents origination.

Attitudes And Behavior

Abstract. The core aim of the present study is to compare the effects of a safety campaign and a behavior modification program on traffic safety. As is the case in community-based health promotion, the present study's approach of the attitude campaign was based on active participation of the group of recipients. One of the reasons why many attitude campaigns conducted previously have failed may be that they have been society-based public health programs. Both the interventions were carried out simultaneously among students aged 18-19 years in two Norwegian high schools (n = 342). At the first high school the intervention was behavior modification, at the second school a community-based attitude campaign was carried out. Baseline and posttest data on attitudes toward traffic safety and self-reported risk behavior were collected. The results showed that there was a significant total effect of the interventions although the effect depended on the type of intervention. There were significant differences in attitude and behavior only in the sample where the attitude campaign was carried out and no significant changes were found in the group of recipients of behavior modification.
