13. External causes: 81% of significant accidents in 2014

14. Safety at the road/rail interface About 1/3 of (railway) accidents in Europe happen on level crossings but:mostly caused by road users/ pedestrians Responsibility of all partners (road users, policy, railways) International Level Crossing Awareness Day ( International Level Crossing Awareness Day (ILCAD) 7 th edition: 03 June 2015 – Istanbul (TCDD) 8 th edition 10/11 June 2016 - Riga/Tallinn UIC coordinator: Isabelle Fonverne Fonverne@uic.org http://www.ilcad.org

Organised by Trafi (Finnish Transport Safety Agency) Core title in 2016: “Enabling safe performance at level crossings” The GLXS is a biennial event bringing together engineering, safety, security, human factors, practitioners, academics and researchers from the global road, rail, law enforcement, research and regulatory communities. It provides an opportunity to exchange information, to improve the safety of the at-grade interface between road and rail systems, and prevent railway trespassing.
