Better knowledge of behaviours of people at railway property could help with identifying those at risk of suicide. Literature has been reviewed from a range of disciplines on what is known about studying behaviour in this type of public location. Sec...

Evaluating rail suicide prevention measures (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ryan, B., Wronska, U., & Stevens, I. (2017). Evaluating rail suicide prevention measures.

Many rail safety interventions are implemented without sufficient consideration of the effectiveness of the intervention or the degree to which the intervention has been implemented. This paper describes a programme of work to develop, test and imple... Read More about Evaluating rail suicide prevention measures.

Using contextual information in the evaluation of the effectiveness of barriers restricting access to the main line at stations (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wronska, U., & Ryan, B. (2017). Using contextual information in the evaluation of the effectiveness of barriers restricting access to the main line at stations.

The use of fencing at railway stations to reduce the numbers of fatalities is a common safety intervention. This study examines the effectiveness of a mid-platform fencing programme as a means of preventing access to the track area. Two aspects of th...

A Novel Modal Shift Modelling Framework for Transport Systems (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Faboya, O. T., Siebers, P.-O., Ryan, B., & Figueredo, G. P. (2017, September). A Novel Modal Shift Modelling Framework for Transport Systems. Paper presented at Social Simulation Conference 2017 (SSC2017), Dublin, Ireland

The challenges from transport modes on human environments, health and economy, have called for investigations into how behavioural changes can be achieved for better resource utilisation. Trip makers' travel demands have been identified, and they inc... Read More about A Novel Modal Shift Modelling Framework for Transport Systems.

What do we know about rail suicide incidents?: analysis of 257 fatalities on the rail network in Great Britain (2017)
Journal Article
Ryan, B. (2017). What do we know about rail suicide incidents?: analysis of 257 fatalities on the rail network in Great Britain. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part F: Journal of Rail and Rapid Transit, 231(10), 1150-1173. https://doi.org/10.1177/0954409717701775

There are over two hundred and fifty suicides on the railway in Great Britain (GB) each year. Descriptive statistics are compiled, producing national and international data. The industry know how many and, to a limited extent, where these fatalities...
