Description
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.
