Abstract:

According to the Federal Railroad Administration’s (FRA) Office of Safety Analysis, approximately 70% of all railroad-related deaths in the United States, are the result of trespassing and suicide. In the European Union (EU), the comparable number is 89%. This report reviews and summarizes available research reports and data sources related to the issues of railroad trespassing and suicide, focusing on research from 2013 onwards. Four categories of documents and data are reviewed: reports dealing with trespass and suicide epidemiology, reports dealing with potential countermeasures, available data sources, and FRA Research needs workshops.
