Use of data and analytics techniques in railways to support better management of the risk of accident

In the frame of the work related to the common occurrence reporting (COR) project presently under development, the COR includes a work package on the definition of a new harmonised scheme for reporting railway safety occurrences: safety management data reporting. Actually, data produced by the railway industry is underexploited for various reasons. The Agency needs to understand if and how it is possible to improve the use of data by means of big data analytics.
