“…Closing LCs (Nixon et al, 1985) or replacing them with over or under-passes is recommended to prevent suicide (Debbaut et al, 2013;van Houwelingen, 2011van Houwelingen, , 2013 and trespass especially in areas with dense train traffic (Silla and Kallberg, 2012). The safety operation of remaining LCs should be improved by ensuring appropriate physical conditions and sufficient warnings (Ozdo gan et al, 2006), as well as active warning devices (Evans, 2011;Savage, 2006).…”

The Indonesian railways have been growing substantially in the past few years. The development of mass rapid and light rail transit is underway, and more railway networks in various regions will be implemented in the near future. Despite the increased complexity of railway operations, the corresponding safety issues have not been addressed adequately. This study will report railway operations currently in place in Indonesia and, furthermore, describe how they potentially relate to safety. This objective was achieved mainly through a review of secondary data and past studies conducted by the researcher and colleagues. It is concluded here in this report that risks of railway incidents in the future are still present. Efforts to minimize the risks should involve relevant stakeholders, including local government, the ministry of transportation, and rail operator. A systematic database and theoretically sound methodology need to be employed in understanding the root cause of the accidents and as a basis for strategic safety interventions. At the organizational level, a fatigue management system (FMS) needs to be implemented within the larger context of safety system.

“…Effectively, this main of transport has been considered one of the safest modes of transport in the world. Risk comparisons show that railway and air travel are the safest modes of transport per travelled passenger-kilometre (Silla and Kallberg, 2012). Therefore, its safety performance is always the public primary concern and required to be further improved by economic and political demands (An et al, 2006).…”

This paper presents an overview of the tram safety in the city of Constantine. The objective of this work is to contribute to the improvement of railway safety of a new urban transport mode in Algeria, whose safety culture is absent in the behaviour of citizens, in the face of major risks linked to the operating of Constantine's tram. In this context this article focuses on four parts: safety and risk management, railway risks, analysis of accidents, safety system and human factors (tram driver). This paper discusses the main issues, challenges and future directions of public transportation safety on these themes.
