Mitigating Road Vehicle Incursion on the UKs Rail Network
Local Authorities, Highways England and the Rail Industry (Network Rail, TFL) have a duty to mitigate the risk of vehicles accidentally getting on to live tracks. This is known within the industry as Road Vehicle Incursion (RVI). The Department for Transport issued a report following an accident in 2001 outlining what would be required to help prevent this and now many schemes are been developed. This CPD looks at products considered suitable to mitigate RVI with the added benefit of maintaining a physical trespass boundary. It will help you to understand the following topics:
- Fencing specification and standards for products used on the rail infrastructure
- The requirements for RVI design
- Fencing product development from high security to RVI
- Environmental considerations
