The rail industry is increasingly facing problems with ageing rolling stocks and infrastructure. It is also considering new concepts such as automated metros. Schemes for upgrading and developing these elements have been introduced, which require careful planning and structured handling of safety issues in order to optimise the technical solutions, comply with safety regulations and address the public's concern for safe transport.

There is growth in demand especially for passenger traffic on commuter routes, medium distance inter-city routes and freight. Pressures on capacity and performance have significant risk and safety implications.
