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

23. Putting it into practice • Need a Level Crossing Policy, • Publicity – hearts and minds, • Agree what is safe enough • Deliver for the right price • Cost effective enhancements • Working with our regulator, highways agencies and public can deliver a safe, efficient network at a cost the country can afford.
