| Occurrence | Trend investigation into Signals Passed At Stop on the Luas network |
| Occurrence Date | 03 January 2020 |
Recommendation
Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) should research if technological and/or mechanised systems could be implemented for the entire Luas network to ensure Signal Passed at Stop (SPAS) events are immediately detected, taking into account requirements for ensuring safety risk is as low as reasonably preacticable (ALARP). Analysis should include appraisal of available systems, including systems that report detection of SPAS events to Luas Network Management Centre (LNMC) and to the driver in the cab.
