  1. Kimstad 2010-09-12Collision between a X2000 train and a heavy guided vehicleLessons learned asinfrastructure manager

  2. Speed 133 km/h • Animation • The train after the accident Distance between tracks 3,22 m.

  3. A number of causes have had a negative impact on the course of events but were not decisive • Infringement of the trains safety zone was not included in the risk analysis • Infringement of the safety zone was notincluded in the work environment plan • The driver had not been informed of Rules for guided vehicles (BVF 929) • There is no requirement that drivers of guided vehicles need to know the Rulesfor track work (BVF 923) • The Supervisor did not have full viewof the work site • No access ramp was used

  4. The greatest risk of catastrophic events

  5. A few weeks after the accident • Speed reduction – 70 km/h past a workplace • If there is a possibility of interference of the safety zone – traffic shutdown on the adjacent track • Track warning is only allowed at tracks with maximum speed of 120 km/h • Track warning is not allowedat operational sites with morethan 4 tracks • The measures strengthen the normal requirementsset by the rules

  6. The contractors also took action • The establishment and un-establishment of guided vehicles/guided tools only allowed when protection/closed traffic is provided on the adjacent track • Maximum speed 40 km/h will be organised on adjacent tracks during the work. This was abolished when the Transport Administration released the enhanced measures • Installation of another camera showing the front of the guided vehicle and the wheels position relative to the rails • Safetyeducation for all drivers of guidedvehicles and tools ADFASDFASDFASDFASDF

  7. New rules again • A documented risk assessment should always be carried out before work on the track, the risk assessment must also contain a planning of safety on adjacent tracks • Possibility to use outer track warning withdrawn • Risk assessment - trainwarning or traffic shutdown

  8. Risk analysis - Road Rail Vehicle/track guided tools • Policies and technical framework • Classification • Education • Communication • Conclusions of therisk analysis

  9. New rules for heavy guided vehicles • New role description for Supervisor and Operator • Risk assessment is mandatory • Self sustaining vehicles should have brakes • Stopping distances • Daily “functions check” expanded • Use of ramps to get on and off the track ADFASDFASDFASDFASDF
