Business Guide Rail & Tramway Introduction Activities / Products Business Guide Rail & tramway INTRODUCTION Activities / Products: Belgium is one of the most densely populated regions in the European Union. Even though n Radio networks and there are no mega-cities here, the north of the country constitutes an almost continuous terminals urbanised area. Belgium, due to its central position, including three major seaports and a n Tetra applications dense infrastructure network, is also a European “hub” and a node for passenger and freight n In-vehicle Tetra Cab Radio AEG TranzCom is a value added n Telephony servers integrator providing end-to-end transport. n LCD information panels solutions and services in the field of telecom and railway energy Sustainable mobility of goods and people is crucial for the socio-economic well-being of the n Substations for railways distribution. region, and the challenge here is almost even greater than in the rest of the EU. n UPS n Catenary systems Belgium has a very dense railway network – whether conventional or high-speed lines. Three n Industrial batteries European rail freight corridors leave or pass through Belgium, while Brussels has direct high- n LV & MV distribution systems www.aegtranzcom.com speed connections with France, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK. The huge success of “car mobility” pushed “rail” into the background in the second half of the 20th century, keeping investments in rail and tramway at minimum levels for decades. 2160001162_ADV_6172.indd 1 10/10/16 16:13 Fortunately, that trend seems to have been definitively reversed. More than ever, “rail” is back. Indeed, in the modern urbanised world, collective rail transport – be it by train or tram – is a must and a prerequisite to create an attractive and high quality living environment. The same applies in Belgium: the Flemish Region is going full on with trams; Brussels is investing in the expansion and automation of its rail network; and Liege is also building an entirely new tram line. The Brussels Regional Express Network is under construction around the Belgian capital. Back in the 19th century, the railroad industry was driving Belgian industrialisation, and Belgian companies were exporting their know-how worldwide. In Russia, China, Africa, South America: “Belgian rail” could be found everywhere. The Belgian rail industry is still a pioneer, with a “cutting edge” production – in a global context Elma Multimedia B.V.B.A. Generaal de Wittelaan 17A | B-2800 Mechelen obviously – ranging from rolling stock and train components to control command and signalling Tel. +32 (0)15 55 88 88 and passenger information systems.

Who is NEDTRAIN? 2. What is NEDTRAIN’s ‘traditional way’ of incident investigation? 3. Why did you introduce STAMP? 4. How did you apply STAMP? 5. Can you show us an example? 6. What are the results of using STAMP till now? 7. What would you recommend us? 1.

NEDTRAIN’s incident investigation Incidents & near misses: • Railtraffic (shunting), • Occupational health • Train safety Approx. 100 investigations/yr Proces: • Interviews • Data analysis • Multi Timeline & animation • Analysis & conclusions • Check & suggestions; by presenting to all involved • Measures & management learning; by presenting to management • New: STAMP analysis to improve last step 5 3. Reasons for introducing STAMP • Nancy’s lecture on STAMP in Amsterdam 2014 • Desire to include systems thinking in incident investigation • Desire to include mental models in incident investigation • Desire to change thinking of management • they did it wrong why did it make sense? • It’s up to the workfloor I have a stake! 6 4.
