Summary: | The main objective is to provide an innovative and a feasible solution for the
users and railway industry. to reduce the waiting time, misuse and violating
behaviour thus, reduce the risk at the UWCs. There is long waiting time for the
driver to gain train position information and permission at the UWC-T. The
average is eight minutes and 36 minutes in extreme cases. This may cause the
user become impatient or unwilling to wait for unspecific period and increase the
violation behaviour at the crossings. Thus, it could bring catastrophic risk or
Potentially Higher-Risk Train Accidents (PHRTAs) to both road vehicle
occupants, train crew, and train occupants particularly when the train collide
with heavy goods vehicles (lorries and farming tractors).
In order to develop an innovative, feasible system to reduce the risk and enhance
the existing system and in terms of information provision, the author uses Vee
process. It is the recommended tool in system engineering regarding the
implementation of new system since there is stakeholder requirements analysis in
order to avoid stakeholder negligence, overtime and over-budget.
Thereby, this new system will provide advantages to the users,
infrastructure owner, comply with standards and legislations and also ALARP
principle to keep the risk as low as reasonably practicable. Moreover, it can solve
not only to one single UWC but also to the several UWCs in the branch line, thus
it is a feasible solution to reduce the risk and improve safety at UWCs.
