N2 - This document presents the main results obtained from
evaluation of the piloted measures implemented in WP5 of
the RESTRAIL project. The final list of tested measures
was: - Warnings signs and posters (Spain), - Railway
safety education programme (Spain), - Education in
schools for 8-11 year old children (Finland), - Video
enforcement and sound warning (Finland), - A combination
of measures at Aydin station (Turkey), - Mid-platform
fencing (United Kingdom), - Societal collaboration to
prevent railway suicides (Sweden), - Gatekeeper programme
(Germany), - Gatekeeper programme: "Contact with a
(possibly) suicidal person" (The Netherlands), - Computer
based training (Israel), - Forward Facing CCTV (FFCCTV)
in trains.
The main purpose of these evaluations was to estimate
quantitatively the effect of all these measures or
combination of measures on railway suicides and (fatal)
trespassing accidents. In addition, two of them have
pursued mitigation of the consequences of these events on
train traffic. A set of general conclusions about the
results gained for the evaluations can be found at the
end of the document, as well as several recommendations.
