Résumé / Abstract

The paper deals with the PANsafer project which aims at improving safety at Level Crossings. This project integrates several tasks; First a fine statistical analysis is carried out using accidents/incidents data basis as well as several other sources. At the same time we lead a human behaviour study at LX area in order to determine potential risky behaviours. Then a functional model integrating all the elements in the LX area is established. This model will serve as a basis to point weak-points at the LX safety chain and to determine the potential improvements that have to be carried. The paper mainly focuses on two main technological solutions that potentially improve global safety at LX by anticipating and detecting risky situations and provide useful information able to prevent accidents. The first system is based on video surveillance and the second is a wireless communication system. The architecture of both systems are roughly discussed within this paper.
