ERAIL - Railway safety indicators

The Safety Directive 2004/49/EC introduced common safety indicators (CSIs), which are to be collected by the national safety authorities and delivered to the European Railway Agency (ERA). The CSIs data have been collected since 2006 and are available in this database. In 2010 the Directive 2009/149/EC introduced an updated set of CSIs and made it mandatory for Member States to apply common definitions to safety indicators. The ERAIL database (European Railway Accident Information Links) shall ensure that the information relevant to the safety of the railways in the Member States is accessible and transparent to all interested parties and stakeholders in the railway. In the Railway Safety Directive 2004/49/EC and the Agency Regulation 881/2004 /with later amendments/, the Agency has been given the task of collecting and proving public access to: The investigation reports sent to the Agency in accordance with Article 24 of the Railway Safety Directive A biennial report on safety performance, based on CSIs, national reports on safety and accidents and its own information.
