Rail transportation is vital to the economy of a country, but as with any mode of transport, also have the attendant risks. In particular, train accidents pose safety risks to both public and the railroads, so effective accident prevention practices is a key element of its risk management practices. Therefore, the implementing standard of safety for rail is needed to ensure the safe carrying out of railway operations. Different standards have different ranged of application and different legal force behind them. The main purpose of the standards mainly is to provide the most cost-effective, efficient and compatible means of rail system delivery, while providing a safe railway.
For instances, standard of rail safety in Canada is to achieving …show more content…
It is due to the high potential of urban rail transport systems as an effective solution to improve urban mobility services. High capacity, reliability and zero local emissions are some of the most promising benefits of the transport system. However, as the increasing of demand for capacity, energy costs and environment concerns, as well as highly competitive environment, urban transport modes to improve the technical and economic aspects of their services along with their environmental performance environmental performance and also its services, urban rail should be more energy efficient, at the same time improve their quality of …show more content…
However, given the other modes of transport are seeking to improve higher energy efficiency and achieve better environmental performance, as well as a steady increase in energy costs competitive environment, reduce energy consumption seems to be holding the key to urban rail transport its position is the most economical and sustainable means of transport. Different technologies and strategies must be conduct for the regenerative energy recovery through regenerative braking capability to increase energy-efficiency of urban rails, and decrease the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions release at power plants have been performed in recent years (González-Gil A., Palacin R., Batty P., and Powell J.
