Reflections on the Development of a Common Incident/Accident Model for Urban Guided Transport in Europe

Transport companies have known a very fast growth during the last decades. This growth was however not shared by all the types of transports, in particular urban guided and railway transports. The European Union wishes to reverse this tendency and develops therefore strategies in order to increase, in the future, the traffic and the number of passengers. This implication of the European authorities rests on the means mobilized in various research projects and more particularly in the MODSAFE project which highlights the problems related to incidents/accidents databases for guided transport systems [0].
