How can you stop train crashes?
There are 3 types of train crashes. Train to train, train to other vehicle, and train alone (which includes colliding with animals, trees, etc). Train to train crashes are prevented today by using fail-safe supervisory systems that stop a train when any unsafe condition is identified. The most publicized system of this type today is the US mandated installation of Positive Train Control (PTC). Train to vehicle crashes usually occur at railroad crossings, with 25% being the motorist driving into the side of the train, in the US. These cannot be prevented. More than 95% of the other crashes of this type were the result of the motorist entering or staying on the crossing when unsafe to do so. Operation Lifesaver is a US nationwide educational program to address this - and it has helped. Train crashes of other types are most often either from the track becoming unsafe, for many reasons, a defect on the train, or excessive speed. Excessive speed is being addressed by PTC, while track conditions have been getting better nearly every year since the 1950's.
