This report delves into the analysis of accident and incident data sourced from The Safety Management Intelligence System (SMIS) by the Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB), focusing on identifying the root causes and exploring preventive measures.

Tended's investigation revealed that a significant proportion of railway accidents and incidents are attributed to human error. Recognising the critical impact of these human factors, the report evaluates how the implementation of geofencing could mitigate such risks and enhance railway safety.

‍This report has been compiled by Tended, with contributions from Andy Crago, Head of Rail and Jules Reed, Head of Behavioural Science.
