the IRSC 2014 highlights the impact of economical, ecological and competitive aspects on railway safety and will address the aspects of fundamental changes in relation to:
- Effects of standardised safety management systems
- Experience with risk and hazard management and interaction of all players in the railway system
- Approaches and instruments for maintaining and improving railway safety
- Methods and options for preserving railway safety knowledge in changing environments
- More information concerning the abstract submission is published on the IRSC-homepage, www.irsc2014.org where you will also find details about registration.
