18 Manual to Improve Rail Transit Safety at Platform/Vehicle and Platform/Guideway Interfaces Gap- and Non-Gap-Related Safety Incidents One very important distinction with platform/guideway and platform/vehicle interface incident injuries is the difference between gap- and non-gap-related incidents. In general, nongap-related injuries are far more common on most rail transit systems.

Platform/Guideway and Platform/Vehicle Interface Incident Characteristics and Rail Safety Programs 19 FRA Hazard Analysis Process The FRA strongly recommends that passenger railroads work to develop a hazard analysis plan as part of their hazard management process. The plan should ensure that all potential hazards are identified, inventoried, analyzed, and then mitigated at the earliest possible opportunity.

20 Manual to Improve Rail Transit Safety at Platform/Vehicle and Platform/Guideway Interfaces Japan Study: Analytical Hierarchy Process The case study involving platform safety of railroads in Japan numerically modeled safety to allow risk assessment comparison between stations. The primary goals were to identify specific safety weaknesses at stations and evaluate the effects of potential mitigation strategies.
