Abstract
The article is devoted to topical issues of increasing the guaranteed traffic safety level. The goal is to develop a systematic approach that allows reducing the risks of traffic safety violations. The article presents the analysis results on the effectiveness of implemented railway transport measures that contribute to improving the traffic safety level. It is established that implementation of a systematic approach is the most effective for achieving the goals of traffic safety. The systematic approach is based on the use of risk management tools, development of positive safety culture and process approach. The result of the study is a “traffic safety matrix”, which includes two interdependent blocks. In block 1, introduction of elements that ensure the transportation process is proposed: personnel, rolling stock and infrastructure. In block 2, the elements which ensure the transportation process safety are introduced – regulatory framework, technological process, performance improvement, law enforcement and supervision. This matrix gives an opportunity to optimally plan and implement safety measures, carry out timely implementation supervision, monitor the effectiveness of the measures used to assess the dynamics of traffic safety level and status. A “traffic safety matrix” based on a systematic approach can be compiled for any railway transport enterprise in accordance with available technical, informational, material, human resources and capabilities. This will allow transportation process participants to coordinate their activities in order to achieve the main result - improving the traffic safety level.
