IDENTIFICATION AND MANAGEMENT OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE IN RAILWAY CROSSING AREAS - CASE STUDY CITY OF PRIJEDOR -

Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes safety risks in critical infrastructure in the areas of railway crossings, synthesizes problems, proposes measures, with special emphasis on emergency events at railway crossings in the area of the city of Prijedor. Emphasis is placed on identifying generators of safety risks for critical infrastructure through incomplete legal regulations that need to be changed. In the part of managing identified safety risks, the need for general application of standards and directives EN 2557/2022 is particularly emphasized, as well as the adjustment of national legal regulations regarding the geometry of the road axis in relation to the track, the mutual distance of railway-road crossings and the slopes of access roads in relation to the track, which is also emphasized in this paper. The visual environment from the aspect of the applied legal criteria that a railway-road crossing should meet is tertiary in this research manuscript. The above elements are necessary for securing railway-road crossings with a systematic approach to solving problems, which requires investments in order to enable safe traffic in conditions of increasing train speeds in the territory of the city of Prijedor.
