Overview

Background & policy context:

Although the safety of railway crossings has improved in recent years, a total number of 7 persons were killed and 8 injured on railway line in the Hungarian counties Györ-Moson-Sopron and Vas as well as in Burgenland in 2010 and 2011. In addition in 70 cases  of accidents there was damaged  ​​technical equipment of vehicles. The degree of injuries in the case of an accident on railway crossing is very high, since the train usually travels at high speed, resulting in a long braking distance and a high impact speed. Frequently misbehaviour of travelling people is the cause of accidents on railway crossings. Road users from other countries are often unfamiliar with the different regulations in AT and HU and do not know how to behave properly at railway crossings. 

Objectives:

The project provides  a comprehensive package of measures to improve eco-mobility and regional accessibility in Burgenland-West Hungary.
