Central Threat Register (CRZ) – Information and Expert Knowledge Management System for Security Threats in Railway Transport

Project co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund under agreement POIR.04.01.02-00-0024/17-00
PROJECT OBJECTIVE:

The objective of the project is to develop a central IT system that enables collaboration between entities for the joint assessment and monitoring of railway infrastructure security (in accordance with Article 4 of EU Regulation 1078/2012). The system will be based on information exchange between companies in the railway sector and will support threat assessment and decision-making (Decision Support System – DSS) regarding the selection of security measures.

This support will be provided through:

  • aggregating information within a central knowledge base,
  • The development and implementation of mechanisms for analyzing and building connections between elements stored in the knowledge base; based on these, enterprises will be able to prepare reports for their own Safety Management Systems (SMS) and Maintenance Management Systems (MMS);
  • Development of common tools for conducting risk analyses, integrated with the knowledge base and utilizing connections between data (including legal requirements);
  • Establishment of an expert group and the development of support functions for it in the area of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA), enabling joint assessment of railway safety issues.

The project results will have a significant impact on improving the efficiency of applying SMS and MMS procedures in railway transport, enhancing the quality of hazard assessments and analyses, and increasing the effectiveness of corrective and preventive actions. This will be achieved through support from an expert group and the use of a knowledge base that provides industry-wide data on hazards, countermeasures, and mitigation methods. System users will include passenger and freight transport companies, infrastructure and rolling stock maintenance companies, market regulators, railway company boards, safety officers, and SMS and MMS system users.

PLANNED EFFECT:

  • knowledge base storing information necessary for conducting risk analyses, supplemented with information on actual past events and their outcomes
  • access to anonymized data stored in the knowledge base for railway market participants; enabling the creation of reports and summaries based on this data;
  • access to a registry of regulations, containing currently applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances
  • Advanced risk analyzer used by system users and a forum of experts on railway safety;
  • expert forum – an advisory body composed of representatives from selected railway companies with essential knowledge and experience in railway safety. Providing system users with access to consultations and advice from the expert forum. Enabling joint safety analysis by system users and the expert forum;
  • notifying system users about hazards through various media, including email, SMS, and MMS;
  • cloud-based system available.
