AB Nowadays, a major safety challenge in rail transport is to manage the incidents andemergencies in the most efficient possible way. The current contingency plans tend to bebased on static procedures not taking into account how real-time conditions affect them.Consequently, the decision-making process may well suffer delays and the possibility ofoccurrence for human mistakes could raise since the required measures are expected to becarried out under important pressure. In this study, focused on commuter trains, railwaysafety is enhanced by a new intelligent emergency management system which aims tosupport the operator tasks in a real-time incident or emergency situation. This cyberphysicalsystem is composed by two main modules: one on board the train, includingsensors and GPS, and other integrated in the control centre addressing four computationalmodels. Those models cover (1) the detection of different types of incidents/emergenciesusing the information received from on board sensors, (2) the calculation of the evacuationprocess (if necessary), (3) the selection, estimation of routes and communication withemergency services required for each event, and finally (4) a provision of actions tosupport the operator decisions. Communication between modules is provided by GPRSdue to actual technology available in the pilot trains. This system has been implemented inan actual railway line in Cantabria (Santander-Cabezón de la Sal) and three practicaldemonstrations were defined based on several use cases, which were tested using a pilotfacility incorporating all sensors and devices installed in those trains. Results demonstratedthe benefits of the new system.
