Railway transport industries

The increase in rail disasters in recent years has highlighted the importance of preemptive protocol to avoid such tragedies. In this book leading experts address all major aspects of contemporary rail safety and security issues. Case studies of transit disasters--including the London Underground and Madrid commuter bombings, commuter train attacks in Mumbai, and the Tokyo subway attack--illustrate lessons learned and provide critical insight into preventative measures. Designed as a one-stop source for railway owners and first response personnel, this detailed text discusses how to secure hazardous material transport and how to establish guidelines for rail freight operations and rail passenger operations.
