“…Various safety interventions have been suggested. 3,8,46,47 These include references to lightingbased solutions (e.g., dispelling blue light source, lighting linked to a movement sensor and tracking spotlight linked to a movement sensor 8 ). Still, there are few rigorous studies of the implementation or effectiveness of lighting to influence safety behaviours in laboratory or field trials (for some examples of such studies, see 4,5,38,48 Where possible, these functional requirements have been identified by the behaviour types (suicide, trespass, risky behaviour) that can be addressed by the functionality of the lighting.…”

Three behaviour types – suicide, trespass and risky behaviours, which can result in entry to railway tracks – present an ongoing challenge to the rail industry for fatality prevention. Many preventative interventions exist, operating at different stages in the timeline of a person’s decision to access the tracks to the point that they have entered and remain in the track area. However, there is little understanding of the impacts of interventions on the behaviours in question. This paper outlines the generation of the functional requirements for the use of lighting as safety interventions, which can contribute towards the development and evaluation of such interventions. The study includes the analysis of literature on how lighting has been used to date in the prevention of suicide, trespass and other risky behaviour on railway property. Interviews were carried out with 13 key stakeholders who have expertise in the behaviours in question and awareness of the range of safety interventions used in practice in railway settings. The analysis explores how lighting can be used to influence these different behaviour types. Functionalities that are both theoretically and empirically promising are identified. These functionalities include the need for reactive environmental changes, novelty, ability to influence decision-making and ability to support a human response, for example, through highlighting to staff when someone has entered the tracks. These functionalities offer developers a framework for developing (and subsequently evaluating) a range of novel intervention technologies, which could highlight specific lighting properties that could influence behaviour.

“…It will provide flexibility to the user or the authorized person who can keep watch from a distance. Grigore M. Havârneanu et al [28] have covered at least five relevant issues which significantly contribute to the prevention of railway suicide and trespass, and mitigation practice: (1) collating details across a wide range of countries of what is happening in terms of prevention, data on incidents and processes for investigation and the management of suicide and trespassing incidents, etc. ; (2) developing and using methodology for the evaluation of extensive sets of measures; (3) providing recommendations for further examination of selected preventative measures; (4) looking for additional empirical support for a sample of selected measures; and (5) providing a toolbox with guidance materials and best practice examples to help IMs and RUs implement measures more effectively tailored to their specific needs.…”

Closed Circuit Tele-Vision surveillance systems are frequently the subject of debate. Some parties seek to promote their benefits such as their use in criminal investigations and providing a feeling of safety to the public. They have also been on the receiving end of bad press when some consider intrusiveness has outweighed the benefits. The correct design and use of such systems is paramount to ensure a CCTV surveillance system meets the needs of the user, provides a tangible benefit and provides safety and security for the wider law-abiding public. In focusing on the normative aspects of CCTV, the paper raises questions concerning the efficiency of understanding contemporary forms of ‘social ordering practices’ primarily in terms of technical rationalities while neglecting other, more material and ideological processes involved in the construction of social order. In this paper, a 360-degree view presented on the assessment of the diverse CCTV video surveillance systems (VSS) of recent past and present in accordance with technology. Further, an attempt been made to compare different VSS with their operational strengths and their attacks. Finally, the paper concludes with a number of future research directions in the design and implementation of VSS.
