1. How often do you use this document?

Daily, it's always on my bedside table.

Monthly, same periodicity we perform the risk assessment in my organization.

Yearly, same periodicity we perform the risk assessment in my organization.

I didn't use it yet.

2. Regarding the 7 principles of the Risk Assessment, which ones do you take into account / use in your Organization?

Individual risk assessment for ALL Level Crossings

Risk Re-assessment periodically

Surroundings conditions

Think like the user

Engage with stakeholders and user

Qualitative conditions

Flow -> Eliminate; Reduce risk; Control risks; Inform; Educate user

3. What factors do you consider in your organization as most important in risk assessment.

Possibility of several options.

Visibility for vehicles or pedestrians

Traffic (number of trains, vehicles, pedestrian, moment)

Surroundings (School, hospital, rural area, etc.)

Speed of trains

Road layout

Level of protection (active or passive), level of information and signs

Users engagement

Stakeholders engagement

Portion of barrier down time

Maintenance of LC condition (vegetation, signals state)

3.1 Which factor do you consider as the most important.

Veuillez laisser ce champ vide :

4. Feel free to add more parameters not mentioned in question 3.

5. How often do you re-assessment risk in your organization?

Possibility of several options.

Monthly

Seasonal

Yearly

Never done

6. Beyond the LC. How much do you consider these parameters influences in risk assessment?

7. Feel free to add more parameters not mentioned in question 6.

Never done

Less than 10

Between 11 and 50

Between 51 and 200

More than 200

All LC

9. How much do you consider the additional instructions contribute for a good user's behavior?

It works

It works, temporarily for the first months

12. Stakeholders engagement. How do you coordinate different stakeholders in your countries? How would you like to perform? (I have a dream...). Do they contribute actively into the Risk Assessment process?

Please, also explain these roles engagement: Rail Infra Manager, Road Infra Manager, Local Authorities, private land owners, Rail Undertaking companies, local groups.

Please, write some successful experience in your country. Would you share it in a future "Best Practices" UIC workshop/event?

14. Please, write the QUALITATIVE parameters in risk assessment you consider in your organization by order of importance, even they're explained at Best practice for level crossing risk assessment document.

15. Give some examples of CONTROL measures you think they work fine, especially from engineering and technical solutions. Please, if possible, evaluate the risk assessment decrease.

Example, the use of video surveillance.

16. When do you consider a LC is mandatory to be eliminated?

Do you use a level of risk in your organization to take the decision? Do you consider the costs as well?

17. Would you like have some examples of Annex 1, how to determine risk assessment?

Yes, I'd be interested in a particular workshop

Yes, let's introduce an example in the document

No, it's clear like it's now

18. Is the level crossing risk management coordinated with other activities in your organization?

E.g. Planning maintenance activities.

19. How do you think we could go ahead with this document?
