Technical Safety Working Group

In 2020, working with the Federal Ministry of the Interior (Bundesministerium des Innern, für Bau und Heimat; BMI), the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (Bundesministerium für Verkehr und digitale Infrastruktur; BMVI) and the Federal police, we developed structural, staffing and organizational measures and explored their feasibility. The goal of this was to further increase the safety of rail transport and its facilities in the long term. The insights from this work and the results of testing individual measures in practice lay the groundwork for further developing the safety of trains and facilities. Measures based on findings from the Technical Safety Working Group have been quickly implemented at some stations.
