Abstract
Project SELCAT (Safer European Level Crossing Appraisal and Technology) is as a
Co-ordination Action of the European Commission's 6th Framework Programme
involving 19 partners from 9 European countries and Japan. This project
coordinated by the
Institute for Traffic Safety and Automation Engineering
at the Technical University of Braunschweig aims to collect, structure,
cluster, analyse and disseminate existing world-wide research results and to
stimulate new knowledge exchange in the area of level crossing safety. SELCAT
intends to propose a standard for reporting level crossing accidents in
European countries as well as to set up a common level crossing accident
information system. Beside the organisation of specific workshops, special
conference sessions, information campaigns will be one of the instruments for
project result dissemination setting up a thematic Level Crossing web portal.
