Safety of railway and guided transport systems

SECU-2

Objectives

Understand the risks related to railway and guided transport and the requirements to mitigate them efficiently.
Master processes of engineering Safety Critical Systems - from the mitigation objectives to the building of the safety case – that are required to operate a rail transport system.
Content can be adapted to the audience, focusing either on rapid transit or railways.

Target audience

Engineers and technicians with basic knowledge of railways and functional safety techniques (Preliminary Hazard Analysis, FMEA, Default Tree, etc.).
