Notice Title

Risk Analysis Services - Understanding the forces and energy in the electrification system during de-wirements

Notice Description

Two work packages have already been completed: WP01 - Desktop review and suggested scenarios for WP02 and WP02 - Calculation and understanding the forces produced during a de-wirement looked at helping to categorise previous de-wirement incidents and to investigate the forces involved. Further research is now needed to support an analysis of the issues that lead to a de-wirement incident and the potential consequences to the infrastructure, rolling stock, travelling, general public and railway staff as the result of a de-wirement incident. The cost of operational delay, infrastructure and rolling stock repairs, injuries and consequential risk should also be considered.
