CTA RAIL SYSTEM SAFETY ANALYSIS VOLUME I--FINAL REPORT
A study on rail safety systems analysis was done for the Chicago Transit Authority to develop a set of logic diagrams depicting scenarios that lead to collisions, derailments, fires, crime and injuries. By providing probabilistic inputs for the basic events on the fault trees, estimates of the frequency of occurrence can be prepared. From these, safety strategies, training aids, forecasting trends and accident analysis can be studied and new procedures developed to better allocate the resources available to the Safety Department. The Final Report presents a summary of the tasks undertaken and a description of the parameters used to determine human reliability. Also included is a five year improvement and implementation plan for the various aspects of this study. Volume II, User's Manual, for this report contains a complete description of the program and the steps and procedures essential for running the program and developing the fault trees.
