Abstract

Objective: Defi nition of the concept and components of integrated safety in railway transport, description of approaches to ensuring integrated safety. Methods: The general methods of empirical (observation and comparison) and theoretical (analysis and synthesis) research were applied. Results: Drawing on the analysis of the national regulatory framework in the fi eld of safety, it is proposed to defi ne the concept of integrated safety in railway transport as the absence of an unacceptable risk of hazardous events associated with damage to human life and health, damage to the environment and material values. The main types of safety that constitute integrated safety in railway transport are identifi ed, which include traffi c safety, transport security, fi re safety, sanitary and epidemiological safety, information security, cybersecurity, labor safety, environmental safety, industrial safety, safety in emergency situations. On the basis of international experience, the necessity of forming an integrated management system for integrated safety in railway transport is shown. The concept of a situational center for managing the integrated safety of the transportation process in railway transport is described. Practical importance: The proposed characteristics of the concept of integrated safety in railway transport and mechanisms for its ensuring can be used to organize practical activities to achieve the strategic goals of increasing the level of safety on domestic railways
